Ok so a couple of months ago i got stuck but got it home. when i got stuck i had no clutch pedal ### so ever. So i figured replace the clutch master(was one from autopart international), so i did, i didn't adjust it yet. Tried to move it and nothing not an inch in any gear. Btw when it got stuck all you could smell is clutch and it still stinks of clutch. so i'm figuring is that the master going bad caused the clutch disc to become stuck and roasted the clutch. Any ideas of wats going on???:confused: Also if you think its a clutch like i do i wanna know your opinion on my new one i'm between act 2100 with a street disc, or a act 2100 with a 6puck sprung disc. any help will be appreciated. thanx!

LOL i got the same issue right now can you put it in gear with out pushing the clutch in? and id go with the 2100 street disc ive been looking at the XTD clutches they have a nice 4 puck on ebay 2300 lb. It looks like its a decent deal and i had a thread i posted on here and people have given them some good reviews.
 
Why don't you start out by properly adjusting the clutch? Sounds logical that making sure the clutch is working properly would involve making sure it's adjusted right?

Next did you bleed both the master and slave when you replaced it? Have you done any form of diagnosis other than "hey my car doesn't move, lets throw parts at it"?

More than likely if it smells like roasted clutch you burned the disc up and have no meat left.
 
Also keep in mind a clutch that is not adjusted properly is a common cause of crankwalk in 7bolts fix that clutch problem asap and dont start your car until you do!!!!
 
I did bleed it but, didn't adjust it. and i can shift into any gear i want. as for crank walk i just replace the motor not less than a year ago with a 75000 mile jdm motor so im doubting I crank walked it. Prior to having the problem every so often i would loose the clutch when stoped or parked never while driving only after driving. Kinda weird.:confused:

Clutch is fully adjusted and it still don't move!

Went by this to adjust it!
