The clutch on my 85 will not push to the floor

Take your other foot out from under the pedal?
Anything odd happen the last time you drove it? With the car off can you put it in gear? if in gear and you try to start it does it move?

1). The trans input shaft came apart and cracked the front cover on the trans where the T/O bearing rides on and now the bearing will not slide back and forth.
2). The disc came apart and wedged inbetween the pressure plate and will not allow the fork to move.
It all means that the trans needs to come out and see what happened. Take pics please, this i have to see,lol.

With the engine off, if you cannot shift the trans then it is an internal problem, Ie: Trans.

If you cannot depress the pedal which means no matter how hard you press on the pedal
it will not go down, Meaning it is stuck? Did i get that portion correct?
The slave or master are just hydraulic pushers of fluid. The slave being the one that pushes against the Fork to disengage the clutch. The only thing to stop the pedal from going down is
something binding against the fork. Which means T/O bearing, pressure plate, etc..

If the clutch pedal was on the floor and you pulled it up and now it is stuck and the pedal will not move then i would start at the clutch master cylinder. Sounds like the piston is hanging up probably because of rust. you will probably wind up changing both the slave and the master.

Would someone know how to fit that? I got the write up on the delete. Should I just go threw that and do what he didn't do right? But I only paid $200 for the car, engine only has about 50k miles, don't know about the trans.
