Clutch won't dis-engage
Hi All, all of a sudden my clutch won't dis-engage the tranny. I pulled trans arm & all linkage to pedal & all look fine, there were no weird noises prior to this (snapping, breaking), any help would be appreciated.

I had this happen once with my 340 Duster. It turned out the pivot bracket had broken inside the bellhousing that the clutch arm attached to.

Re: Clutch won't dis-engage
When you step on the pedal does it have the normal resistance, or is it loose?

Re: Clutch won't dis-engage
Can you get someone to watch the clutch linkage movement, if everything moves as it should and the clutch is still engaged, gotta inside everything to see what's what

Re: Clutch won't dis-engage
Hi Thanks, All linkage ok, guess I`ll have to get inside as you say. Thanks again. Any online parts houses that have new or used linkage/clutch parts?
