Evening all,

Well its that time of year again (MOT booked in for tomorrow) just popped out to make sure she's starting and the lights are working etc and she's being a right bugger to get in gear. I've been able to select the gears and ill take her for a spin before the mot to try and free things up etc. she's been standing for a 2 or 3 months so is this sounding like sticky clutch plates or maybe something else?

Hope you not all soo sozzled you cant offer comments LOL

Thanks Andy

See if the hydraulics need bleeding or the fluid needs replacing, but it might just need a bit of use to free it up. Or new master and slave cylinders.

Take it clutch does work just a bit sticky.try slipping it a bit to clean up flywheel and clutch plate,foot on brake or on a slope.
