Watch the slave cylinder & throw-out lever while someone works the clutch pedal. It should move about 12mm or so. If that's OK, then the hydraulic system is OK. That leaves problems inside the bellhousing...

adjust clutch, if that doesn't work pull tranny

 

any one else

 

Like the first post said, check the slave and hydraulic system first, no sense it buying a clutch and taking the tranny off if you dont have to, start with the easy stuff to diagnose.

Jim wasn't trying to misguide you...

Move the rubber boot covering the slave cylinder-to-lever arm area and inspect.

 

i didnt think he was trying to missguide me.....i was just wanting to see if there was any other opinions...........but yea its defanintly the pressure plate/clutch, when its in gear u can feel it grinding and u hear metal to metal contact.......thanks for the input guys

 

found the problem

 

Ouch. Yeah, that'll cause the problem...

 

what do u think would cause that

 

Too many shocks? I don't know for sure. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between abuse vs. defective part.
