Sticking clutch plate (not fully disengaging) would seem sensible, although a little odd that you had trouble when engine not running.

This is why its always wise to do one thing at a time and test. Which I never do of course!

The only thing you did was wash the box, so a serious mechanical problem was unlikely.

I wouldn't know if the engine running or not would make any difference. Never had much to do with gearboxes, clutches etc. It's all a little 'Hoccus Poccus' to me as to how it all works.

Yeah, I do believe I've been advised to do one thing at a time in the past, but of course, curiosity and a sense of adventure always seems to get the better of me!

That is exactly what I thought!
How on earth did a simple wash and rinse cause so much heartache?🤔
Going to be worried about the detrimental effects of changing a bulb or waxing the bodywork now! 😬😬😬
