Ok, thought I would update just incase other people are having the same problem. There are Two different gearbox types for this engine and consequently, 2 different clutch kits. The clutch which I originally used came from the original engine but did not work. The problem turned out to be the pressure plate so I bought another clutch kit only to find the clutch plate would not go over the gearbox shaft as it was too small a hole. I then took it all back off again and used its original flywheel and clutch plate with the new slightly different pressure plate and hey presto! Ive got a really good clutch, no leaks no noise. Just a perfect running clutch. I have since found out that All I needed to do was bend the pressure plate prongs out slightly and that would have solve the problem. Bottom line is, if after changing an engine on one of these you cant get a clutch and you know the csc is working, its your pressure plate prongs need bending out a bit. 30 minute job . Hope this helps some people :) | |

Yes all the rods are fine, its something to do with the pressure plate not bowing out im sure. Anyone know why this would happen. Ive ordered a new clutch kit with flywheel just to be on the safe side but don't want this to happen when I put the new one on. Any idea how I can prevent it? Thanks peeps | |

Have you alined the linkage? Not a clue if it's a rod on cables on them, but you'll most likely need to set it up again. | |

Hi, I have just changed an engine in a 2007 1.4 corsa club, the engine if fine but the car wont go into gear, (it does when the engine is off ) I thought initially it was the concentric slave cylinder so have changed that but it still wont go into gear. |
