Re: Help - clutch failure



Are you sure there is no tension on the clutch pedal?  I
mean is it all the way to the floor or something?  The cable
could be snapped in the middle somewhere.

Does the throwout lever on the tranny have tension?  You
should not be able to push it very far.  If so, then it is in the
throwout mechanism.  I have never been in there...
