The other day I noticed that the disengagement of my clutch was different. It was alot closer than usual. Yesterday, when being depressed, my clutch pedal would not return all the way back, it would come up then get stuck at midpoint until I pulled it back up.

So now my car is acting as if I do not have a clutch at all. I cannot get into any gears when the clutch pedal is depressed. Also, when the car is off and I have it in first gear and I try to start the engine the car jumps forward, even if I have the clutch pedal in. Can anyone help me out?

If after making sure your hydraulics are working properly and correctly adjusted and the problem continues then read through this thread and follow links to repairing the shaft and lever.

That sux buddy. Juss to check, borrow a prybar and a crank endplay gauge. You see where I'm going with this? I've been there. I hope i'm wrong.
