DST engine going great, car won't move!
Hi, forgive me if any of this is academic - I'm fairly new to this game but a fairly competent mechanic and avid tinkerer! My year-old DST recently suffered a pretty spectacular front end impact, bending chassis plate, wrecking lower arms, smashing fuel tank, banana-ing front driveshaft etc. Anyway, all parts replaced with new and transfered onto new chassis plate, painstakingly put back the mirror image of where everything was before.
Engine, as always, was up like a good un - started about 3rd pull BUT! Gearbox failing to engage. Engine appears all as was but some visible tooth grind to center diff main cog on 2-3 teeth but has more than enough to grip. It IS mating with main drive gear from engine but neither is turning, even at top end of throttle. Hasten to add that I shut all down immediately after discerning the issue. I'm not all that familiar with how the "clutch" works in these cars - any advice would be gratefully recieved.
