I'm doing my work in my shed which is down a steep hill so I can't drive around to test things out. So today I tried to drive up, its wet and on grass, but I cant seem to be able to go forward even on the flat area. I can reverse no trouble, and the clutch feels ok under foot and going reverse but it stalls or just plain won't go forward. Almost like the Handbrake is on.

No trouble spinning wheels by hand, but my wheel alignment is only by eye and almost certainly off. Could this be causing it? What else could it be?
:mad:

If I'm carrying on like a pork-chop, I'm having a great time.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.

It is selecting 1st, might be trying to get going in 3rd.
Another thing to check on flat, put it in neutral and with h/brake off, try pushing it forward. It's actually possible to be stuck in reverse and when you select 1st you then have 2 gears selected.

Hmm.. Hadn't thought of the 3rd gear thing. :oops: not sure what you mean by reverse and another gear? No trouble pushing it, now that you mention it! That answers a few things!

I feel like the clutch wants to leap away when i release it. I can ride it a bit but cant get full drive without the revs dying off.
How do I tell if the clutch is buggered?

Bit tricky, its hard to say whether it's clutch or engine tune. If the clutch is oil contaminated it could be grabbing. Is there any oil coming out of hole under clutch housing?

I'll add it to the list. There's lots of dirty grease and crap around. Engine needs to be tuned hence needing to get it out of the yard.
