good luck...does it jump forward when in N??

cheers PaTricK
The car doesn't move forward in Neutral at all when started. Could failure of the throw-out bearing cause this? Because I can hear the whining when I press the pedal.

I already knew of that solution, lol/

I was hoping someone could point out just one thing iit may be. it must be something other than hydraulic though, so it looks as though a new clutch is in order anyway. Unless the hydraulics just aren't pushing hard enough. I'm going to try getting some known working clutch cylinders before the replacin geverything else.

Enthu, i have this exact problem with my gsl-se. i haven't used it for months for this reason. last night i decided to try something new and it worked. While putting it in reverse it grinds..but that's because i try to put it in reverse slowly....when i said screw it and really slammed it in reverse, immediately all the other gears worked..i was able to move around. but every now and then, it happens again and i'll be at a corner stuck, Jam it in reverse, and back to ok again. I don't know why this is but for now it's a solution that i'll use to get it to the mechanic and have the clutch assembly and hydraulics changed out.

Hope this helps.
