Subject: LG6 Clutch

---

Hello Lagonda Land,
As I pulled into a petrol station the other day and went to grab for a lower gear, it seems the clutch on the LG6 stopped working.a I could only get first or reverse by stopping the engine, selecting the gear, then restarting. Only with the clutch pedal right to the floor was I able to start "out of gear" and the clutch took up in about 5 mm. The clutch was a little stiff/notchy earlier in the journey but it's done that before and come good.

I believe I'll need to take the clutch out, but before I do this, does anyone have any suggestions regarding what this might be and whether a fix might not involve removing the clutch? If the clutch does have to come out, any advice, tricks or tips on how to do this? I've been having a look and it doesn't seem easy. I have the seats and floorboards out, but if the shaft between engine and gearbox needs to come out, I don't see how that can happen without also removing the gear shift mechanism which sits over it.

Ideas and advice gratefully received, also posted on the Facebook forum in a more brief form.

Many thanks in advance, Mike
