Is the spring broken? I dont even know if they have one, but the six does, same era.

Maybe the throwout bearing seized up, but I would start with the slave cylinder. Might just have some air in it.

What about the poss. of the clutch being worn out and the slave is over extended? Do they have slaves..ie. hydrolic clutch.
:confused :help

I would start with the slave too. Look under there, see of the push rod is where is supposed to be. If it is, and all is not wet from a hydro leak, then your inner slave cylinder piston ring is shot. Sometimes you can find a clutch slave cylinder rebuild kit, sometimes it's cheaper just to buy the whole thing.

Keep us updated.

Well, that sux! Hope the Slave isn't too expensive to replace.
Nor too much of a PITA.

took about an hour after bleeding it 5 times wishing it would work guess it was not the slave cylinder maybe the clutch master cylinder(not brake master cylinder) is what I am told it also could be. That will be tomorrow had finals today no more sunlight or garage to work in :(
