Clutch issues, cant get shift into gear with engine running
Hi all, need some ideas, my son's R50 starting doing this last week. 2006 R50, manual trans.
With the engine running the car will not go in gear. With the engine off, no problems.
I've checked and bled the hydraulics, no leaks. The fluid was the color of coffee. All clear now.
When you engage the clutch pedal it makes a slight scraping noise. I'll attach a video. I'm not sure the sound comes through in the video.

Mine did the same thing. It was an issue with the clutch assembly. For some reason the new LUK brand clutch had decided it would not engage. (It was a few months old and had worked). I swapped the clutch for a Valeo brand and no more issues. You can read more about it here. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-ideas-13.html
