Ok, I blew my clutch last week at auto X. Or so I thought. The last time I blew a clutch the symptoms were quite similar. It looked like the hydraulic system was working the slave cylinder had alot of travel. I pulled the tranny and the clutch is fine. Every thing lines up the disk slides freely on the splines and nothing seems out of place. Is it possible for a clutch to get stuck or jammed engaged? I put a centerforce dual friction in it instead. I needed a beefier clutch. Got it all put back together and it still would no disengage.

The slave cylinder was replaced six months ago. Im thinking it might be the master. I need to look and see if lits leaking inside the car. Is there anything else that could be wrong? Maybe something is bent out of place.

The car will go into neutral but not with the clutch when it is in gear, the clutch is always engaged and it will not throw out. Its not a problem with the clutch, its something else and Im not sure.


P.S the tranny was a bitch the get off and back on. It was so mated on the motor that I had to use a chissel to get it off. Then when I had it off, the tranny splines seemed to be stuck to the disk I had to really pull to get it off. Im thinking hydraulics. the slave piston pushes the throw out rod quite a bit but maybe not enough, it the master leaks it will not have the presure needed to throw out a clutch. Or could something be bent what else could it be?

 

It could be the pilot bearing, if you did not replace it when you did the clutch.
