My wife went to drive the car this morning, opened up no issues, started no issues but.......

The clutch depressed and gear stick moved into 1st, clutch released no movement? Tried reverse to the same result.

I went out and it did the same for me! I then tried starting it already in 1st gear released clutch and all was fine. Moved up and down the street all ok.

Any ideas what this could have been?

I'm thinking maybe due to the cold something sticking but I'm unsure.

Thanks

Man that's weird! Could only really be one of two things, broken selector fork or linkage, but as it sorted itself out, it must have been the clutch failing to engage, most likely, centre plate stuck on the input shaft splines, or release bearing hydraulically locked.

 

I've had tyres frozen to the ground, but that just causes the car to stall when you release the clutch.

 

I would mention it to your dealer though, just in case they know of any really weird stuff. (Expect pigs to fly before any answer though.) 

Thanks, it was strange and thankfully not happened again since.

Hmm, this has happened to me 3 times since September. Once it happened in stop start traffic and it went into reverse, when I swear it was in first! Kind of feels like the gear hasn't engaged properly? Think I read something on here a while ago: something to do with the linkage?
