I decided to see what this awd will do so I launched at about 4,000 rpms and as I shifted to second, the clutch pedal went to the floor with no resistance at all. Oh course it is not allowing me to shift into or out of any gears because something is messed up. The pedal doesn't stick to the floor, it just comes right back up. Since I lauched hard and this happened, any idea what I should look for or start with?
 
Its one of two things. Its either your clutch itslef its no good anymore or your clutch slave master cylinder went on you. If I had to guess, I would say your clutch slave master cylinder went out. They are only like 30 bucks brand new, Most likely you blew the rings out of it when you shifted.
 
Crankwalk? I drove the car about a mile home in second gear.
I had a friend press the clutch down while I was under the car feeling the slave cylinder on the tranny, the fork goes in and out as the pedal was pressed in. That tells me that clutch fluid is making it from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder, the problem is internal. Thanks again.
 
It's kinda sad about the car, between the clutch, oil leaks, and valve stem seals, I want to sell it.
