pedal up and lots of pedal pressure but...

engine revs and nothing happens like its not in gear.

I know its in gear because I can feel the gears with the shifter.

the car responds like the clutch is pressed in all the time.

The pedal is stiff as hell and the cable is tight.

The bearing arm moves. But when I let the clutch out with the motor off and the car in gear, the car rolls .

what could that be?

Check your CV joints, one may have let go. The driver side outer let go on mine and it felt exactly that way. When I took it apart I expected to find a pile of metal pieces, but everything was intact, including the cage. Somehow the cage had spun and allowed the axle to spin. The inner race had a nasty scar on one edge.

lots of things, the marcel could have broken. thats the center hub of the clutch. the input shaft of the tranny could have broke. the pinon shaft could be a goner.

so you know, this is a 914-6 conversion with 914-s stub axles...

I'm fairly new to all this but I just swapped out my clutch and transmission and went through those systems. It almost sounds like you have the clutch cable to tight and the release bearing is doing it's job even when you have the clutch pedal up. Assuming a six is like a four with the 901 trans in place you need about a 1/2 to 3/4 free play at the clutch pedal (grab the pedal and pull towards the driver seat). Unless it is something bigger that requires dropping the trans. Might as well losen the clutch cable first and see if that helps.

You did not mention that the wheel did not turn......just how the axle turned. You have just answered your question....CV.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Your axle should NEVER move without the wheels moving.
