MGT Transmission problem???
 
Hi Guys
The MGT Seems to be running fine except it will not stop. If you start the engine with the wheels off the deck it runs but the wheels turn. When you put it on the deck it stalls. I have tried adjusting the idle but it doesn't seem to work. The idle itself is not high. I would not expect the clutch to engage at those revs. Is there anything anybody knows about this? Even when I pull the starter the wheels turn.
Sound like a clutch problem???
Any ideas welcome

It sounds like the clutch. One of the clutch spings could of broke.

Not really though I put the clutch assembly onto another engine. I'll strip the engine out and take a look.

def sounds like the clutch, if its idling normally, the power shouldnt even be getting to the tranny yet. My guess is maybe either the springs have lost there tension, 1 has snapped or the clutch shoes have melted to the clutch bell, check it out and post your findings

The springs and shoes were fine, it appears I managed to get some debris caught up inside the bell.
Seems to be fine now.
Cheers guys
