I was driving around normally and from a standstill my car "banged" and then I couldn't select any gear. I heard a bit of a rattle but this noise goes away when I depress the clutch. My service engineers told me my clutch was on it's way out, has it gone or is it the gearbox?

 

Probably/hopefully just the clutch. Good luck

 

Sounds more like the box. The fact that the clutch can make the noise stop suggests it can still disengage the input shaft from the engine, and thus make the noise stop. I'de get your friendly Subaru Assist / AA / RAC / Green Flag etc man to have a look at it....

Cheers,

Pat.

 

agree with pat

mine stripped 2nd gear, made a band when doing so, and all the little teeth from the gear jammed the selector rods...ouch!

Car is going to RC today to be looked at, they also believe it to be the gearbox. Does any one know the best way to go about uprating it. (UK MY98) running an "estimated" 320BHP

 

Just to qualify the reason I said clutch is because when my mums clutch went the car was jammed in gear.
