Clutch, maybe transmission problem?
Hey all,
Just wanted to see if I can get some preliminary opinions on what this problem could be. Here's the symptoms:
-Can shift into gear without pressing clutch pedal
-Cannot shift into gear once engine is started
-When I start the car in 1st gear, car will roll forward, hence it feels like the clutch got stuck.
So methinks it's an issue with the master/slave cylinder, since the clutch seems to be stuck in the engaged position. Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Its not that difficuilt to rebuild both for under $90, call Ray Crowe of Ray Malloy Mazda and say you're an RX-7 member for a discount. 1-888 533 3400. I had the same problem and rebuilt both cyclinders last year...works like a charm. Remember to first prime the Master cylinder first before installing.

Is the clutch pedal sticking to the floor when the engine is running? If so, sounds like you either got some air pocket in the hydralic lines that need bleeding. Or maybe either the clutch master or clutch slave cylinders need to be rebuilt.

Thanks to all for their input. In terms of vibration, I don't feel any from the clutch pedal.
I think my worst fear is having to replace the clutch, and (although I won't truly find out until it's inspected), it doesn't seem to be the case.
