I have 1986 mini Chelsea 1000LE. It hadn’t run for 16 years when I bought it. I have taken it apart completely and started rebuilding it. I also completely rebuild the engine.
the engine is now back in the car but there is one big problem. When i put it in any gear the gearbox locks up and won’t move. I can’t push it in gear. It will crank when it’s in neutral, and rolls freely. So there has to be something wrong with the primary gear in the gearbox.
can anyone tell me what could cause this problem?
Kind regards
