    Changed cable as had spare Bowden tube all good no oil at joint but some times goes in gears fine then nothing and press clutch see a small squeeling noise and clutch smell done 28,000 on cable and clutch plate ect so hope to get time Tomoz after work to drop engine see what the gremlin is as booked camping the weekend with my boy as it's his birthday !! Loads of time to sort it !!

    What about checking the gear linkages first before dropping the engine.
    If all okay proceed as you think best....
    The coupling at the gearbox nose cone is normally a prime suspect.
