Clutch in 85 900 Posted by Rob [Email] (#1828) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Rob) on Wed, 6 Dec 2006 14:48:05 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have a classic 900 in excellent condition. I recently, for the first time ever, tried to shift into reverse while stopped BUT without depressing the clutch pedal (I have a pulled muscle in my neck - painful! distracting!). I heard a GRAWTCH and immediately shifted to Neutral. (The engine did not stall.) Later I drove the car some distance; the first time I shifted into 5th I heard some grinding noises. This happened only in 5th - the other gears were perfect. As I drove, these noises became less and less frequent, and much less severe than the first shift. Now it runs perfectly smoothly, shifts flawlessly in each gear. Any opinions on long-term damage? I intend to keep this car virtually forever, so I don't want her hurt --- other than this she is in perfect mechanical shape.
