blown clutch?
I think i blew out my clutch today. I was running the car real hard through first and second, and when I went to put it into third it jammed and then all the sudden it just went boom. The clutch pedal went limp, and i couldn't get it into any gear. Then i was coasting at about 40 mph, and finally was able to get it into 4th, and when I went to go, It was real shaky and sort of grindy feeling. Then i finally got to a stop, and it would idle fine, and then i put it in first to move, and it just made the worst grinding noise.
does this sound like just a burnt clutch, or something worse? [:@]

RE: blown clutch?
there was a little bit of feeling, but not much. It was just like a grindy feeling. It's at the shop right now, so I'll find out tommorow, but I just want to know now. It succcks.

RE: blown clutch?
either the clutch or the tranny! Usualy the clutch shows signs it is going first, for instance you will be driving around and it will start slipping, that is gaining rpm's while in gear but not gaining acceleration! Since the pedal went limp, and it grinds when trying to put it in gear it sounds like a clutch... but the popping noise scares me it might be the tranny that went POOP!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard if your clutch is out your car wont pull at all.

RE: blown clutch?
Grinding while puttingit in gear is usaully a syncro problem, pedal falling to the ground is the clutch master cylinder giving out. Does the pedal still fall to the floor or does it feel like it has pressure behind it? ImoI think that you must have shaterred the **** out of one side of the clutch.
