hi all new to the form right where do i start lol,

well iv lost all drive on my ford 53 plate mondeo 2.0 tdci 6 speed manual, you start the car put the clutch in select any gear lift the clutch and nothing no nocks or bangs no weird noises. it just stopped working, the car had new clutch and dual mass flywheel last year been driving fine biting point was nice and low where a new clutch should be, no expense has been spared what needed doing i had done and would really like to have her back on the road. iv checked the gear linkage so far and everything looks fine all moving as they should.

can anyone help with the problem and give me some ideas on what to check, it would be a massive help.

hi thanks for the reply but it nothing to do with that because if you think about it on a manual if the clutch had gone you can still put the car in gear and then start and drive off still, but with mine you put the car in gear with the clutch up and start does nothing dosent move at all

Usually work by cables. Should be an easy job if you know a mechanic.

Good luck.

Well, does the gear lever feel as if it has gears and they are in the right places? Also, with two people, you can get one to select gears and the other to look under the bonnet and check that the selector mechanism (cables) seem to be working ok. Looking at your first post, you may have done that already, but you really want to see things move rather than 'engage first, now go under the bonnet and look to see if it is in a different position'.

It is also possible the drive shafts/universal joints have gone...but, at some point you'll have to say 'this is beyond me, I require a mechanic', and I'm not sure what that point is for you.

With the engine idling can you here a change in noise when you depress the clutch, if you can I would say the clutch is ok, it tends to be a bit quieter with the clutch down as the gearbox is taken out of action so to speak. I doubt it's drive shafts they would have been making a noise before they failed.

Have you tried engaging reverse?
