I took my car out for a drive and got about a mile down the road, and my clutch went dead, got the car back home, and checked underneeth and the throw out bearing was detached from the pressure plate .... I tried everything to try and get it to stay in, but it wouldn't stay. Should I just purchase a new Clutch, Pressure Plate, and throwout bearing.. Or is there a fix for this?

Problem after Problem... one day Ill be able to drive it!

i had a similar problem and the culprit was a broken release fork believe it or not. it is actually quite common. if the fork is still intact though, the retaining clip may have become weak or something??
have you tried taking off the slave cyl to get some more room to move the release fork towards the rear??

anyone else?

That snap ring that holds the bearing must have the notches to line up with the little metal tabs on the bearing. The ring could be sprung or weak from the heat, that ring cost if I remember correctly $35.

you have to replace the ring every time you R&R

so do you think its the ring? or is there something wrong with the throwoutbearing or pressure plate
