Exclamation Transmission or Clutch gone bad ?

Okay so i been having some issues with my Clutch not grabbing and what not. I have bleed the line and i see no leaks at all. But today after coming back from work i was in 3nd then i went to shift down shift and nothing happened the car just wouldn't go into gear. Had to get it towed to my garage.

So should i just bring down the transmission or where should i start at ?

Will you clarify something. Could you not push the shifter into 2nd gear, or when releasing the pedal, the car wouldn't move?

I would start with the simple stuff first. Check that the slave cylinder is piston is pushing the shift fork on the transmission when you push in the clutch. Also check that the slave cylinder is retracting and the shift fork returns to the normal resting position.

He's talking about the lever that sticking out from the front of the transmission, that the slave cylinder push pin pushes it every time you make a shift.

Well my son was pushing in the clutch and the slave was going in and out and i tried to bleed see if that was the issue.

Clutched Normal State



Clutched Pressed


Then i put it in gear and my speeddometer was going up but car no where

what so your speedometer was moving up but your car does not move? so your engine and everything revs as normal? but your wheels do not move?

check to see if your axles have popped out some how.

your clutch is obviously being engaged and disengaged via the pic you sent, unless your fork inside has popped off the pivot ball.

how does the fluid level look? how does your shifter feel? any stiffness? or looseness?

yeah my Speedometer is moving just not the car lol. Yeah i didn't hear no grinding noise at all (GOOD SIGN) Fluid is good and it shifts pretty good not hard at all but funny thing that i don't need to press the clutch to put in gear if car is on.

I think it is safe to assume that the clutch is completely worn out.
