Clutch problem

[sadsm]

Not my car so Im really not to sure what happened, but I do know that it happened when it was being driven. What is happening now is that when you put the it does not engage. You can shift the car whith out pushing the clutch in, but the car does not move. It is not the cables that connect to the tranny, I already checked. I am leaning on the clutch being shot but not positive. Just wanted to check all possibilities before we pull the tranny.

Did you check the slave and master cylinder?
Is the clutch fork moving when you push in the clutch?

As stated check the master & slave cylinder first before removing the whole transmission. Check for any possible leaks in these areas, and as far as the slave cylinder goes try moving the rod in and out, you'll want to feel pressure while pushing it in, if you don't then you most likely have to replace the slave cylinder

You dont need a master cylinder or a slave cylinder to engage the clutch. The clutch is always engaged anyways, until you disengage it. Ive actually driven my car home without a slave cylinder bolted onto the transmission.

Pull the transmission. Tell us what you find.

I'm going to assume he meant disengage.

I say the clutch is toast.

There is pressure when I checked the slave cylinder. There are no leaks from what I can see. I am going to drop the tranny on Saturday and find out what happens then.

Update. It was the clutch. I just hope my brother in law will not kill this clutch fast.
