MG B roadster/172 cup
Hi, I'm pretty new on here only picked the car up last weekend (172 cup).
I was coming around a big roundabout, going quite fast (first time i've driven it in the dry) about 5-6k in 2nd, all of a sudden it felt like it had popped out of gear, the revs shot up etc. So my immediate reaction was clutch in and back into 2nd and clutch up. With the clutch up there was no power, the engine was running fine i could feel all the gears but none of them would 'engage'.
I called out mr.RAC to tow me home, he thinks its probably the clutch. Is it possible in this situation that it could simply be the circlip? Of course i'll be having a look tomorrow, any advice on exactly where to look and what to look for, only had the car a week so still feeling my way around.
When in gear with the clutch up and engine running the speedo does go up as if a was moving.
Also just in case does anybody know of a good garage to take it to in renault if it is the clutch.
Thanks,
James
