i'll try to explain as best i can. I was leaving work yesterday, just pulled out into the street, still in 1st, gunned it, got to about 7grand and shifted to 2nd, but when i pushed in the clutch, it stuck to the ground and i had to pull it off with my foot. Then it was working again instantly, but it's a lot stiffer. I hear a weird "robot" sound now coming from the transmission. Kind of like a real deep toned supercharger. I've been taking to my car to the track on fridays, and plan to take it this friday also. I took it for a spin today, and it is almost impossible to get into 2nd or 3rd when i get up in the rpms. (around 7grand). I am really worried something is going to go wrong this friday. If anyone can help please do. Do you think this could be a master cylinder problem, a slave cylinder problem, just a simple bleedin the line fix, or a more pain in the *** problem, like the actual transmission, throw out bearing, maybe even the fork piece........Please i have no idea what to try and dont want to make it worse. thank you.

the first and foremost easiest thing to do is to push the clutch pedal in and have someone watch the slave cylinder to make sure its pushing the fork in.... if that works then youre in for something big. if you heard robot sounds lol your transmission prob took a shlt.... its either that or your clutch... either way youre gonna have to pull the transmission if the fork moves and youll be able to inspect the clutch to see if it took a dump. what kind of clutch are you using??

it's a spec stage 3. with stock flywheel. And i've already had to drop this ***** out once, replaced the throw out bearing, slave cylinder, shaft assembly and seals. I cant believe i'm getting problems again. haha. But yeah i did break a slave cylinder 5 minutes after installation, and had to get another one. i'll look at though, just short on time and want it run right before i go to the track.

You really think that one hour bump was needed?

Doesnt really sound like a clutch problem, if it was you would be having problems in all the gears.

No simple fixes here, sounds like your transmission is blown. What kind of hp are you putting down?

Does it pop out of gear while driving? Sounds like your main shaft may have taken a walk on you.

no stock cams. and it stays in gear. I did fix it today though, it was just the master cylinder thank god. Just a $50 fix. Easy as **** to swap out, everything is straight now. I just need to bleed the line, got just a tad bit of air in there, but otherwise it's straight now. hell yeah
