Morning all. A few weeks ago my miggy started to have trouble going into 3rd and 4th gear. it went in these gears but was very stiff. the gearbox was very noisy anyway. managed to get hold of an R28 gearbox so went to Markey Marks to get it fitted. Brilliant, the drive home was great (still a little stiff in 3rd and 4th but much better than before) and the power i seemed to have was great.
After a couple of days it started to get much worse and now i can only change gear after a slight delay to let the engine revs drop before it will go into gear. having a new clutch fitted by markey on monday hopefully and i really hope this sorts out my car.
Are the symptoms i've got clutch problems or something more serious. any body had this sort of thing happen to them?
Sorry for the long post

Sounds exactly like a clutch problem to me.

My pressure plate drive bands failed (fix was new pressure plate, or clutch kit). The symptoms were couldn't change gear unless the revs were low. The plate was moving about and causing a tiny bit of drag at higher revs.

Thanks Jason was hoping a new clutch would fix the problem
