I was just taking our 1975 1.8L out of Winter storage and couldn't get it into any gears! It worked fine last fall. With the vehicle off, it runs through the gears. When it's running, I can't shift without it grinding. It reacts like there is no clutch at all.
The cable on the transmission side appears fine, although I was surprised by how little it moves when somebody engages the clutch. Is it possible for the cable to stretch over the winter? Or the threaded bolt on the end to back off! Doesn't make sense?? |

Check the cable tube in the tunnel. Looks like it snapped. I see some welding in your future. If the cable snapped, the pedal would be on the floor. . If the clutch arm does not move much when someone presses the pedal, check the bosen tube welds. .they may have snapped and the tube is flexing in the tunnel. . The clutch arm should move about 3/4 -1 inch when pedal depressed |
