Hence it is unable to "open"the clutch for you to engage the gears. Have to tow to workshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crashing sound from gearbox can only mean bad news. Time to get a new gearbox or overhaul the parts, whichever is cheaper and faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need to hoist out engine to fix that, probably a tow to WS is mandatory. In SG, they would rec to change the clutch system and some would kiasu ask to change gear box, but for manual its rare to change gear box unless accident. In Malaysia and indonesia, they usually overhaul the clutch system. Cheaper and more reliable. New things might means its good at times especially when its hidden inside.

Maka Neutral Newbie November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 any cheap tow and repair shop to recommend, I never used tow in my 10 years driving expericence? I think cheap tow isnt what you need, you need a reliable tow, unless you want to end up repairing more than you expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 Cheapest tow = rope plus a friend with a car. This is how we always used to do it. As to problem? Who knows, it could be any one of a range of problems - I have heard of clutch cables snapping, have seen a car with a crack in the firewall meaning that the hyraulic clutch couldn't engage, could just need a clutch cable adjustment... Many different things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benben_shen Neutral Newbie November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 may have to tow to workshop already.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dojon 1st Gear November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 I kena once like that before... after I exit from Expressway and before turning was a red light. I put neutral, then I cannot engage any gear liao... I heng heng half clutch and can go in 1st gear... so I drag the car to my workshop then the guy say Clutch Pad Gone... Another trick is to off your engine and engage the gear first and clutch in and start the engine so at least you are in some gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 (edited) Happened to me recently also. Just drive to the workshop asap. Should still be able to drive. I thought need to tow then called my workshop. They told me just keep pumping the clutch pedal then drive off. Every time you got the chance just pump the clutch pedal again to maintain the pressure. If you keep pumping the clutch pedal but the pressure never increase then its some other problem already. Edited November 23, 2011 by Nzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitvip Supersonic November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 If your car is using clutch oil, check its level. It could be leaking. If that is the case, top up the oil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjteo 1st Gear November 28, 2011 Share November 28, 2011 Any updates what happended with the accent at the workshop? Sounds like the clutch master pump. Maybe change the brake fluid at the clutch fluid reservoir to see if it helps. I change mine (Accent 1.3M) every 6-12 months or when it feels difficult to engage the clutch. The Accent just crossed 200,000 km on the original clutch (fingers crossed). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
