what happened to my clutch???

[dcskater82]

Last night, i pull out of the fastfood line of mcdonalds and it breaks! i push the clutch in to pull away and it made a loud POP noise...now its hard to push in, hard to get my car in gear, its all quirky n shit....its not the fluid either, cause thats been leaking lately, but i had just put some more in beforehand....keep in mind its an act 2600, and its got only 4000 miles on it...anyone know what the hell is wrong with my car now???

Either it was not torqued down properly and a bolt came out or they didn't use threadlocker and a bolt came out. Either way it sounds like something came lose and your disc shifted and it's all screwed up now.

Your gonna have to pull your trans and have a look...

You could have damaged the Slave cylinder, there is a shaft in there that pushes the clutch fork. You could have damaged the Clutch fork, or the TOB......... Gotta go in there a find out!

My guess is shift fork. With that 2600 those forks are known to go. I don't think its the slave cylinder. If it goes out you usually get no pedal pressure and you can't shift gears. I doubt its the TOB. But the only way to find out is to check it out.

shift forks break/bend during a hard shift, not pulling out of McDonalds. I'm venturing to guess it's something outside of the tranny. Start at the shifter and work your way down to the clutch fork. If it's not that, then might have broke a finger on the pressure plate. Who knows.

could be numerous things.. gotta drop the tranny to be sure.
