clutch problems - ka24de - help plz!

[lingo]

i ran into a major problem today, i tried to drive my car, and the gears are not going in. pushing the clutch pedal completely down does nothing, aswell, when i shift into gear and try to start the car with the clutch pedal down, the car begins to move forward.

i had no real warnings that this would happen, i know my clutch was worn, but not to the point where it was slipping or anything else. when it ran fine (just yesterday for example), the gears didnt go in smooth when i downshifted (if it means anything), but it shifted up fine.

i replaced my clutch slave cylinder today (the master was replaced aprox. 14 motnhs ago/25,000km), and bled the system.the pedal is strong and the pushrod is moving back and fourth against the withdrawl level, but still i am not able to shift gears.

what am i looking at? new clutch?

also, even though i bled the system, almost immediately, the fluid had turned dirty again, it starts off obviously clear and now its not transparent anymore...

thanks in advance

hey WELCOME TO NICO

if the pushrod moves and the clutch still does not disengage you have something wrong in the bellhousing. good chance of a broken pivot or clutch fork. you need to pull the trans and have a look in there.
