was driving in traffic today...put the car into first i start moving w/o a problem...switch to second i hear a loud pop and my car will no longer go into gear...my pedal pressure is very soft and the disengage and engage point are almost to the floor


when the car is off in will go through all the gears but when its on i cant get into gear


ACT 2100 w/ organic disc
 
both my slave and master were replaced within the last 6months i checked the fluid when i got off the road and it was full and there were no signs of any leaks
 
do you hear any rattling when it engages/disengages ? if so, your TOB might be broken.

but as of now, my guess is that the clutch fork is bent/broken.
 
i didnt hear any sounds out of the ordinary besides for the loud pop b4 my car started acting up
 
anyone else have an ideas or thoughts on wtf happened to my car...most people ive talked with have said it sounds like a clutch problem
 
-try to bleed the clutch a few times and see if that helps any.
-grab the end of the fork and see if you can move it around with your hand
-take off the rubber boot/guard around the fork and look inside the tranny to check the throw out bearing
-check the pedal assembly and see if the spring is loose
-adjust the master cyl and see if that changes the pedal pressure
-check all hyrolic lines for small leaks/cracks


you're never goin to know unless you actually take a look. Check these things out and then let us know what you find.
