Default cluth randomly busted

i have 94 accord vtec and i've had the clutch rebuilt in the past, probably around 70 k miles ago. So i was driving through a parking lot, i went over a speed bump, very very slowly, and i heard a very small clunk. Next thing i know i can't move anywhere, literally no where. I can rev the engine all i want and it sounds fine but my clutch won't engage. I't doesn't make a grinding sound or anything either, i have it in first and i'm reving and it sounds like it's in neutral with the clutched pushed in. anyone know what the deal is? My tranny showed no signs of weakness up to this point, nothing at all.

is the clutch pedal dead or is it the same...if it's dead you have a hydraulic problem...if not, you are probably on slammed suspension and your tranny hit that speed bump...nothing else that i can think of would cause such a thing...

what do you exactly mean by dead? i push it in and it does nothing, i can shift without pushing it in too. sorry but also what do you mean by 'slammed suspension'? i just got my eibach pro-kit installed and it seemed fine.

oh, and hydralics, that would just be the cable that physically connects the clutch plate to the discs or whatevever, right?

Hydrolics implies that it uses fluids, and by Nick H saying that it may be a hydraulic problem, he means that there may be a leak in the system somewhere that is allowing the fluid to get out; thus, leaving you will zero pressure and a non functioning clutch. First check your clutch resovoir (I know I know, I spelled it wrong) and see if you have any fluid in there. It is located "under" then VIN on the drivers side of the dash in the engine bay and should have a gray or black cap. If this is empty, your problem is hydrolic. Your engaging fork may have snapped also, that might have been what the "clunk" was. Those are my two ideas, other than that, I got nothing. If you absolutely need pics of where the resovoir is for the clutch fluid (which is just DOT3 brake fluid) post for them and I can get one for you. GL
