car has a heavy duty clutch, has been working fine when i first had it, although it was really "deep" had to have it literally to the floor to change gears without any crunches.
went for a slide, through 1 corner i handbraked and the car turned off mid-drift, clutch out turned back on. after that i had no clutch at all. clutch in, it wouldn't go into gear at all.
decided to drive to the nearest petrol station to bleed the clutch, how did i drive it there? engine off and shifted into first turned the car on and took off in first and engine and rev gearbox match shit woteva you want to call it to change gears.....got there bleed it from the slave and the "box" as i call it and still the same thing. clutch in and it wont go into gear...
it was working absolutely fine until i did that 1 slide,
so now what can the problem be? blocked lines? slave or master is knackered?
one of my mates said maybe the pin inside the cabin or a nut has gone loose or where the slave is 1 of the nuts or something is maxed out...im not exactly sure what but i will be having another look at it on monday. just wanted ideas of what to look for or wot the problem can be.
also i took it to a mechanic and he jst sed the clutch is rooted... but mehh i dont know
cheers guys
edit:
played around with it more today.....when sitting inside the car and pumping the clutch with the car on you can kind of hear some noise....the noise is hard to describe but its like when your bleeding the brakes/clutch noise KIND OF not exactly sure how to describe it
and the feel is different....when you push down slowly or release slowly, you get this "step" feel when i say step its like start go start go kind of feel to it. will have the the car on stands 2moro didnt get enough time to get that far :(
