The throwout bearing is what disengages the clutch, so if it's messed up (i.e. one of the arms broken off) it's goign to be difficult to engage the clutch, hence why you have to push it all the way to the ground. It's probably just getting scraped up and not really engaging fully. I have no idea as far as one spinning, and not the other. I'm not very familiar w/ B series transmissions. Also, you can adjust cable clutches on the outside. You screw the little plastic thing down, and you can change where on the pedal stroke the clutch engages. Try that as well, and see if it helps.

 

so what ur saying is that the fork that pushes the throwout bearing broke. yikes. did u put the bolt in the throw the clutch arm and the throwout bearing fork. and what do u mean the tranny went under water. like in a river or in a lake or what. have u adjusted the clutch cable.

more info plz
sounds like may be a bearing in the tranny. i don't mean the throwout.

hope u can figure it out

 

it wasnt the fork arm that broke it was the spring that holds it to the fork
and i live louisiana and it went through katrina while in his car and he said there was no water in the oil when he drained it.
i fixed it by the way
