WTF happened to my clutch? Thu, 10 November 2005 13:59 Go to previous message
OK, here's the deal, I went for a drive tonight in my Supra and the clutch decided to stop working for no apparent reason. I only got about 500m from my house, opened up the throttle in 2nd gear (no clutch slipping or anything like that), went to change into third and I noticed the clutch pedal was much harder than it was before, in fact I couldn't push it down to the floor! The gearbox popped out of second easy enough but then didn't want to go into third. The reason for this is because the clutch wasn't disengaging any more, no matter what I tried.

Anyway, I eventually got it home after an amusing clutchless drive through the suburbs, and checked all the obvious things. Clutch pedal mechanism is fine, master cylinder reservoir is full, no leaks anywhere, and the clutch fork moves as normal when a friend is pushing the clutch pedal in. Obviously the hydraulic system is working, but the clutch still won't disengage at all.

So what's left? Broken clutch fork? Something dodgy with the throwout bearing? Collapsed pressure plate? I suppose I won't know until I drop the gearbox (again! BAH!) but I'm looking for ideas here, this one has me confused! Confused
