gearbox swopd, helpme please

swopd the gearbox today as my gt one had a massive hole in the side of it, swopd over to my standerd mk2 hk engine one on to the polo gt engine got it all in and ready went to turn the key and CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK the starter keeps clunking sounds like the solonoid in it, or it sounds like its hiting the flywheel and not engaging properly, i have used to starter of the polo gt engine i have in, should i use the starter that was with my other engine? looks like the same, or is it a bad earth?

help please

much appreciated

i was well looking forward to boosting the golf tonight aswell,  

Have you bench tested the starter motor ?

it could be the solanoid sticking, is it a clunk or a click ?

like a clunk

def not a click

right swopd the starter with my other spare still does it, tryed bump starting it down the road and it didnt start it kinda lockd up it didnt kangaroo like they normal do when u bump it, u know like as u can feal the engine turning, it just kinda sharply but wheels didnot lock up to a stop

didnt remove the clutch i left that alone as it is a new clutch, could it be the wrong clkutch for the gearbox? or do you think its the gearbox?

Do you know the gearbox was working before you installed it? :dontknow:

Jack one of the front wheels up off the ground and use a socket to on the crank pulley to turn the engine over when its in gear. The wheel off the ground should turn. If you can't turn the engine over somethings jammed :dontknow:

Is the box off the Mk2 the right fit?

Does the starter motor actually engage and line up with the flywheel?

yea its of the mk2 golf, i think the inner part of the bell housing is a slightly diffrent sizt and caught the bell housing, yup def worked i used to use it on my old engine,
gona get a polo gt box i think
chears guys
