Hello i own a ford sierra sapphire 2.0 efi dohc with an mt75 box that i recently converted but now that i have it all done and put back together the gear box will not go into gear whilst running? I try to force it but still nothing just goes half way into the gear but wont go any further.Another weird thing is if i have the car in gear and the push the clutch to the floor it pops ford with the starter motor at first i thought it was the clutch so i replaced the quadrant gear! And i even put a G-clamp on the lever to which pushes on the clutch to make sure it wasn't the cable? but still wont go in gear i can see the clutch coming away from the flywheel aswell about 1.5 to 2.5 mm? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I take it you are using the mt75 shifter cradle?

Ya i haven't changed anything with the box! you mean as in the linkage aswell to make sure?

Caddyshack

Yes, the gear stick that actually changes the gears, I would match it to the box

Keith Hall

Ya its the same gear stick and linkage still wont go in

Ya gear stick is the same one that was on it originally! But its weird that it pops foward when the clutch is in?
