Question clutch...

not sure how but ive lost most of my clutch power.
i checked and Bled the Master cycl it seems to move freely with no lock up.
someone told me the Pressure plate MAY of somehow come loose...
so i guess im asking what are the possible causes of Clutch loss.
If this has been handled via the forum i haven't seen it which is why im asking

Check what the slave cylinder does when someone depresses the clutch pedal. Make sure it extends and pushes the clutch fork. If it doesn't, there's a big *** air bubble in your hydraulics or you have a big leak somewhere.

It's not the pressure plate coming loose. If it came off, you would hear some very nasty sounds coming from inside the bell housing. The pressure plate is pressed onto about 15 dowels, and the only parts that have pressure applied when you depress the pedal are the "fingers."

You may have cracked the fork, though this is exceedingly rare. (save ACT extreme PP's)
