I'm the owner of an 05 R50. My car was recently stolen but I was able to recover it. It won't crank over and I can't get it to start by popping the clutch. It's acting like the transmission isn't engaging when i shift into gear. Before the car was stolen I had no issues. They obviously abused the car because the passenger front rim is chewed along the lip and they replaced that tire while they had it. They admitted to having an accident but wouldn't say what all happened. Could it be a linkage disconnect issue from the shifter to the transmission? EWS? I hear a click in the EWS box mounted to the firewall to the left of the clutch when I push the clutch in. I also noticed there appears to be relays missing from the cabin fuse box. I love my car and I've only had it a few months so I'm sure you understand how heartbreaking this is for me.

 

You may want to post this somewhere other than the JCW Garage subforum.

 

Check the clutch position sensor.

 

I will move this to the Stock Problems/Issues section.

When you put the key into the switch and then turn the key what lights and/or sounds do you see/hear?

 

Shouldn't your insurance be fixing it if it was stolen?
