Ok, I have a problem and I am not sure what the issue is. I was driving and everything was just fine when I downshifted from 3rd to 2nd and let the clutch out and there was nothing. I can freely shift the car without pressing the clutch at all. I can feel the gears changing, so it does not seem to be a shift linkage issue. When I press the clutch it feels dead like there is nothing there and the clutch is disengaged.
Any ideas thoughts or suggestions? |

Many, many years ago, when my car had only about 55k miles, my clutch failed. I was near home, less than a mile, when as I shifted up I felt a light thump through the clutch pedal. The clutch began slipping and although I could change gears no gear provided solid drive. I was able to drive very slowly home.
When I dropped and split the engine and tranny I found the diaphragm spring in the pressure plate had cracked radially. The pressure plate had lost it clamping ability as a result. I wonder if this could have happened to your clutch. |
