i need help please

My car cannot move. Here is the situation

2 weeks ago, I noticed that the clutch would not grab at low rpms, then it just got worse and worse. Then last week while driving home from work, I couldn't change gears, the clutch pedal was still firm, and it had a bit of a rough feel to it. I could only shift by "rev matching". When I was rev matching, the clutch would not slip at all, like it was back to normal in a way. Then 2 days ago, the clutch pedal decided to work and I could change gear normally again, but when I'm in gear and let off the gas, the cars rpm would drop down to idle. And it slips at any rpm now.

I replaced the clutch slave cylinder, bled the clutch, there is no noises or leaks coming from the master or the slave.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

sounds like your clutch may be shot, if i'm not mistaken there is a cover on the bottom you can remove to check, been a while since i changed my trans so i could be wrong on that.

sounds similar to my last clutch problem, it turned out that my pedal had gotten out of adjustment, leading to slippage and eventual clutch failure. make sure its adjusted out quite aways and you have plenty of pedal travel, hope my old problem helps fix yours!!

Thanks for the feedback guys, i will try to adjust the clutch pedal tomorrow, and if that doesnt work, ill drive up on some wood and see if i can locate this cover plate your talking about.

update tomorrow evening

im not quite sure what hotrod is talkin about... but ive had to do numerous clutch/transmission jobs on my 240 and i dont remember any such thing as a cover plate.... aside from just pulling the whole transmission out to check ur clutch (which is a pita unless you have two ppl) but gl tomorrow man!

[SunnyTk]

i took a quick look and didnt notice any plate either...

i did adjust the pedal from the interior, but all it did was adjust the pedal...

soo im back where i started, i guess i have no choice but to pull the transmission and see whats going on...

you could also try getting rid of that stupid damper box and bleeding the f*** out of your clutch lines. it might help! its sure easier than taking that damn transmission out!!

i was looking at it the other day and was wondering what the heck that was lol, how do i go about by-passing it? (im horrible with high-pressue hoses)

update: I got my shift knob off lol it was cross-threaded on the shifter like there was no tomorrow!

[sil80]

is your clutch damper removed? if not try that, i just posted a thread today about it it has good instructions on the post... let me know if that helps.

[SunnyTk]

no it is not removed, since its soo easy, ill do that tomorrow and see if somehow that box was my problem lol

thanks!

[SunnyTk]

well i removed the dampering box...bleed it like there was no tomorrow... nothing really changed, but it seems to grip a bit better...

taking off the transmission now

a friend of mine said that it might be the fork in the bellhousing that is bent or partially broken. if its not that, ill have to replace the clutch...

the only reason why i dont think its the clutch is becuase the car has 120,000 Kilometers and it was owned by a old lady its whole life. and this problem started just over 2 weeks ago, and just got progressively worse and worse...
