G60 corrado wont go in gear

[dub855]

Have some bad news about my 1 day old G60. driving home tonight and i couldn't put it into gear. pulled over kept trying but could only grind gears wouldn't go in.
turned car off and then put in gear... start up and she started moving with clutch down. Clutch failure? alinment? or extreme gear box?

have checked the fluid for the wet clutch... all ok.

Any ideas?

if you started it in gear with your clutch in and it moved then this would relate to the clutch problem!

this wouldnt happen if you had a clutch cable but i suspect you have the clutch moved by the brake fluid.....
there is something wrong with this...........

either your brake fluid is low in the resviour!
or the hydrolic pressure this isnt working!
i dont know too much about this hydrolic clutch!
the vr6 has one and ive been trying to figure out how it works there a thing on the bulkhead with a pipe leading from the brake resviour to this thing and then a pipe from the bulkhead thing to the top of the gearbox!

you may have a split in the pipe to the gearbox.....
eitherway your not getting hydrolic pressure......
if you are getting pressure then it may be a dodgy clutch!
abit of
investigation is needed!

just looked in haynes it says clutch fails to disengage
(unable to select gears)hydrolic fluid level too high
or it says plate sticking on imput shaft splines! that would be a clutch plate fault!
is there resistance in the pedel or does it feel like its not disengaging the clutch......is it easier to press down!

before u start panicing to much check the slave cyl on the gearbox. these are a fav to go on corrado box's...

has the peddle just fall flat on the floor ?

Just had the same problem, not good news.... had to replace the clutch. ouch!

[Purple Monster]

New clutch didn't work either!!, now replaced the master slave and it seems to be sorted, 
Good call g-man

Slave cylinder......was it expensive to replace??

[Purple Monster]

Slave didn't work either in the end so don't know of cost (yet!) still trying to source the problem.....

could it be an internal gearbox problem? like the forked selector bits that shove the cogs around? they bend sometimes and can prevent gears selecting
