VW bug gearbox locked up
Hi,
I have a 1966 VW bug, tried to drive it this morning
and when I started the car, I was unable to shift it
into any gear (reverse included). When I try to put it
in reverse, it makes a grinding noise. I am unable to
put it in any gear. When I turn the car off, I am able
to touch all gears (reverse included).
It locks up on me for some reason. Never has
happened before.
Sounds like the clutch or maybe clutch cable, you can remove the pedals to check the pedals come out easily depending on rust
Thank you for the quick response, Mike! What exactly should I be looking for
The whole pedal Assy comes out by removing several bolts you can see one bolt in the picture you will see the clutch cable and throttle cable pull on the cable, if it comes out it's bad it will be real obvious not a bad job to replace if I remember right if the cable is good bad clutch
Thank you Mike. I’ll likely reach out to a mechanic as I’m not super handy with this sort of thing. I appreciate the insight!
