I'm new to all this a bought a menace! Iv got used to it but had a little accident. .. I hit a curb head on damaging the front bumper, breaking the filter line inside the fuel tank and also breaking the 4 way battery holder! Fixed the problens.. servo all working car starts but it wont pull off just revs over. I notice the 3 gears only the 2 are spinning when started. Have a ruined the clutch with the impact?? Any ideas??
 
the best bet is the gears in the trans are striped. sooooo you crashed the front? EVERYONE does that. and it wont be your last.
 
The gears only started playing up after the crash. I stripped it all down u can see the gears are not linking up with the other cogs. I had them lined took it for lil blast and stripped lil bit off the 1st gear. As thete anyway on lining them back up. I stopped the car asoon as I heared it. Lil tear on the 1st gear. Thanks
 
Theyre famous for stripping gears. I got rid of mine by smashing it with a hammer. I dont know of anybody that makes metal gears.
 
Yes, thyre brittle.

After it broke for the last time a 3 foot fall from my work bench broke an axle arm and knuckle. I had just fixed it. I finished off with a hammer. Best thing i ever did saved me a ton of $$$. Pos broke every single run.
