when i got into my car today i pressed down my clutch to start my car...but the clutch was very hard to press. esp. when getting closer to the bottom. it felt sorta vibraty/shaky/gritty towards the bottom...sorta hard to explain. the gears were very hard, almost impossible to shift into. i finally got it into reverse...but i couldnt get out of it! so i decided to shut off my car before i start driving....and then..voila everything returned back to norma...i just thought htis was weird and wat could've caused it. any ideas or help thanks.

 

ok here's wats happening. car wont go in gear once started...but the car will go into gear when its off...yet when i turn the car on...(foot on clutch all the way pressed to the bottom.) the car will start to move forward and when ebrake is up the front will move up almost like im letting off the clutch in first...then car will shake and stutter down till the rpms go down and stall out. WATS GOING ON?!?! my car is 95 gsr btw.

</TD></TR></TABLE>not that many times...as with anything it is good to get a second opinion thats all.

 

ok have fun with that. doesnt change the facts.

 

slave/master cylinder maybe?

 

uhm..... nope, not likely.

Your clutch is busted dood. I've had friends who's clutches have gone out with identical symptoms. Your clutch cant disengage while the motor is running (i.e. clutch spinning).

Thats what i mean. You cant put it in gear because the clutch wont disengage while the motor is running. When the motor is off, the clutch isnt spinning around and you can slide it in to gear since the gears in the trans arent spinning with the motor.

 

ohhh ok i see wat ur saying....now i understand...thanks man
