AC 2 Litre clutch problem?

[trev1948]

I am having problems engaging gear when engine is running, but if clutch is engaged with gear selected before starting then after starting the gears will change without problem until neutral is selected again. This has only occurred since changing the gearbox oil, l have used SAE 30 oil as recommended. I am assuming that the gearbox is a Moss and this is the correct oil.

Hi, I think you need to adjust the clutch pedal so as to give more clearance. The adjustment can be made under the car. You should be able to see a bracket attached to the bellhousing, you should be able to see how the adjustment should be made looking at the bracket as the clutch pedal is pressed down. Hope this info helps.

Thanks for that Musicman. I have tried to adjust the free play on the clutch pedal but it is at maximum and free play seems Ok at about an inch. The strange thing is that it has only occurred since the oil change.
