Today I went out for a ride in my BlitzII, about 20miles, or so, mixed fast and slow driving. I pulled into a car park, and at no more than walking pace, the rear wheels locked up, stalling the engine, so I got out, and pushed... no forward motion, but it would go backward 10ft or so, then lock again, pushed forward, 10 ft or so, and it locks up. I tried to engage gears, clutch seems to feel as if its moving ok,.... I can't make my mind up whether the clutch has broken up, and the locking up is caused by bits of it catching on iside of bellhousing, or if it's the diff playing up. I can select gears, but on releasing clutch pedal, all I get is faint whirring noise, and no drive.... anyone got any ideas?
If it's not the clutch, and something more serious such as box or diff problems, I do have another gearbox that I could fit, how easy is it to swap a box from one engine to another? This is all a bit urgent as I'd ideally like to be able to complete repairs by Monday morning, as it's my only form of transport......
Originally my buggy had a 998 engine, but with the size of wheels, and the gearbox it had it couldn't pull 3rd gear for more than 1/4 mile or so, so I fitted the current 1275 engine(and the box it came with). Buggy perfomed quite well like this, (-ask Jason, he came for a blast in it.) The box on the 998 looks far newer than the engine, and I'm wondering if it is the wrong box/final drive for a 998 ?
All sensible suggestions gratefully recieved, thanks,
Matt.
