Hi Everyone
My beautiful F6 van won't go into gear. Started it up this morning, clutch in, put it in reverse and it stalled. It goes into all gears fine with the engine off but not when running(except reverse which stalls it). I've started it in first and it runs along but depressing clutch has no effect. The clutch arm moves when clutch is depressed so cable seems ok. But I don't know what kind of movement to expect in this arm. I got underneath and the lower locking nut on the adjuster was loose so I think that maybe the adjuster position has moved. Attached are photos with the clutch down and up. Can anyone advise whether this is the expected kind of movement? I'm hoping the clutch hasn't gone and I just need to adjust it. The pics show clutch fully down and at rest.
As you may have gathered my mechanic skills are limited but I'm learning. I managed to change a snapped fan belt last week. Next job is to order the Haynes manual.
