My car firstly had a weird sound when putting gear five, then I kept driving and its just had this loud noise from the passenger seat and all gears got stocked. Took it to a mechanic and a new clutch kit was putted , a new bush and gearbox oil was also putt in. After that loud sound from the passenger seat was reduced but now the problem with gears still remains. they are locked will not go to any gears.

It sounds like you have a clutch issue. I have seen where the clutch throwout bearing pivot arm shears a lock pin causing the throw out bearing intermittently not depressing the clutch pressure plate. How does the clutch feel?

Here is a guide that can help:

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
