Gear crunch - 1st and 2nd
#6
Hi

If you get a crunch when stationary even after depressing the clutch and waiting a few seconds, it's a sign that the input shaft of the gearbox is still turning. This normally means that the clutch isn't completely disengaging (clutch drag). It only takes a tiny amount of drag to overcome the friction of the input shaft and keep it turning. Fast idle will exacerbate this but isn't the root cause.

If the clutch pedal downward travel is being limited by contacting the floor, you could try moving the pedal lever position on the clutch operating shaft (it's held by a pinch bolt) so as to get a little more disengagement.
