    Very detailed post. Will read again. A++++

    Sounds like your clutch isn't disconnecting drive to the gearbox.

    hmm, didn't think to add a bit more detail?

    Does the clutch feel like it's working? Check clutch master reservoir for lack of fluid. Also check box for lack of fluid. If else, replace car.

    1. maybe try putting your foot on the brake when changing to different gears.
    2. check the brake lights as i have heard with some of the newer cars if the brake lights do not work you can not change the gears.

    Please let us all know what the problem is.

    well thats is my 5c worth
    give that a try

    - Clutch fork broken or bent
    - Pressure plate broken
    - Hole in clutch line
    - No Clutch fluid

    obviously to fix this you fix whatever is broken.

    Just lol. That advice is not even worth 5c.


    Clutch plate may be stuck to flywheel. No fluid in clutch master. Clutch master fucked. Leak in clutch line. Fork broken. Snapped cable.

    We don;t know what car it is, so how are we to help you?

    Realistically, you can't change gears with an auto with the car being off. So it makes sense (to me atleast) that it would be manual.

    And the mention of from neutral to first also was a give away.

    It's like this guy doesn't even want help. He's viewing the thread, but still not telling us what car it is.

    let me guess this right, the only posts you have made on toymods are asking for help with very minimal details initially, and then it turns out not being your car or even a toyota?

    commodores run a clutch cable still so that rules out clutch fluid.

    maybe try street commodores or just commodores?
