Does the engine need to be running to get a PPG box to engage, I bought one from someone on here a while back and now have it all fitted but it wont go into any gear??? does it have to be running or something

 

tick tock

 

Dont know for sure as mine is sat in the garage on a bench! but id have thought it would go staright in no matter what...

maybe a prob with the install on the car?

 

yer will look into it further, defo a prob with the release bearing but thought i should still select at least one gear

 

Clutch Center plate wrong way round ???

 

I have the straight cut synchro, and it selects in standstill or moving. Best to take a closer look at it again....

 

gulp

 

No its will go into gear like any other box.

Whats happening ?

 

wont select any gear at all, started the car tonight for first time and the release bearing defo has a prob, can hear it when i press the clutch with engine running it rattels

 

I refitted my reverse/neutral switches once without the spacer washers and it stopped gear selection.

just bringing this up again, my box engages now and have done a few miles (thanks john that seemed to be the prob) but unsure if ive done it perfectly, is there a set size washer you need for these switchs as it crunch's into gear unless i time it perfectly and its annoying me lol, plus makes some pritty loud bangs when engaging...ekkk

 

Is it a dog box or a syncro box, you've never said ?

dog

 

If it's a dog box the 'bangs' going into gear are perfectly normal, the crunches are because you arenot changing fast/brutally enough. Don't be gentle with it !!!!!!!!!!!

Not an ideal choice for a road car !!
