Hi i was driving down the road i changed from 3rd to 4th and it wouldnt go in then i lost all the gears. When the engine is off it will go in all gears but when i start it up it wont. The clutch presses down but there is a lot of play at the top of it before it depresses and it doesnt feel right. also there is a noise coming from it when the car is running sounds like somethings not engaging a clicking noise. Any help would be appreciated.

its a 98 type r by the way

Cheers

about 330ish. So its definetely not the box then? if it was surely i wouldnt be able to get any gears when the engine was off?

330 is plenty to do the bearings in the box and put play in the 1st motion shaft unless you got a dccd then probably just the ring on the bearing's fault

ye its got dccd. Could it be the clutch slave cylinder?

dont think so with the clicking noise but you can soon tell by looking under the intercooler and seeing if the clutch leaver is moving
