Hi:

My 1600 roadster will not move at all in any gear. A few weeks ago it suddenly started to drag when in gear.

Any thoughts as to cause?

Thanks!!
Richard

Probably a worn out clutch by the sounds of it, but check the easy to get at usual suspects first: Fluid level in transmission & clutch hydraulic system, linkage, slave cylinder, etc. After that, you’ll need to pull the engine & transmission to check into it further (clutch, synchros, gears, flywheel, etc.)

Yeah, a blown clutch disk ....if your lucky
Jack up the rear and see what turns , from both ends

I'm a little thrown off by the description of the issue... so, it won't go into any gear with the engine running, put the clutch in and it grinds? It started "dragging" (meaning it started becoming difficult or grinding changing gears?) or was it more the trans felt like something was "dragging" or refusing to turn inside the box (or elsewhere)?
