Cant get Mk4 golf gti into gear with engine on!

[undisclos3d]

Tried starting with the clutch in, in gear a couple of times last night. No fix! Argh got it towed tonight to my local mechanic. Will find out tomorrow! Hopefully it's something as simple as a bit of rust. ALWAYS happens at the worst time, when I have no money and need my car the most!

With the brakes on?

With the brakes on?

Yup with brakes on. Tried it 2 or 3 times. Was a bit scared to do it to much as I didn't want to wreck my starter motor.

so apparently the clutch and flywheel has just gone. Mechanic quoted me 2800 with a service which it needs. Whats the best clutch kit going around thats not gonna rape my bank account?

Only way to save money on that, is go single mass flywheel. The Std DMF is a pricey item. Have a look around ebay AGU clutch kit. ECS is probably the easiest place to go but time for the shipping etc. Depends how quick you want the car back.

How long does ECS usually take to ship to Australia? I am on their site now looking at their stage 1 kit. bout 550 landed. Does that sound decent? 490 for the 14lb kit. Is the 20.5lb better?

If you order today, they'll usually ship same day. Then it would be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Shipping is pricey but generally fast. Either or, the heavier one may be a bit smoother vibe wise. Got the 14 in my polo and no complaints
