When i start my rover 75 manual it will not go into any gear but when engine is switched off it will go into gear but car wont start when you turn ignition on?

Answer 1

This almost sounds like two problems or something that is causing both problems. It sounds like you have a nuetral safety switch that prevents the car from starting in gear unless the clutch is depressed. The other problem sounds like a throw out bearing problem not allowing you to shift into gear. I would check first to make sure that the clutch is being engaged when you push the pedal down. Probably the easiest way is to put the car in gear, engine off and parking brake off. Depress the pedal and see if the truck will roll. If it won't roll the clutch is not properly engaging. You will then need to figure out why. Has it become disconnected at the pedal? Is the throw out arm broken or bent? Hope this helps.
