Default Cant Shift

OK, so I burned the clutch a bit yesterday because some jackass cut me off, and Then I couldn't shift into any gear, as I was rolling. I had to force it pretty hard, but no grinding or anything like that, and it went into gear and as I was driving home it felt fine again.

This morning I cant shift into any gear from parked with the engine on.

The clutch feels the same, theres no resistance/whine/grind.

I dont think it's the TO bearing, its more like the clutch operates, but the disc is stuck to the flywheel.


Any ideas?

Does it move from gear to gear freely with the engine off?

Sounds like the clutch is not fully disengaging. Try holding the pedal to the floor with your hand , and use a large screw driver to hold the quandrant in place while you lift the pedal a few clicks.

In a moment of panic you probly activated the clutch cable tension release , It happens if you pull up hard on the pedal , or your foot slips off the clutch and pops back up.

And I just got it to work again :/

I started it, then put the shifter up against 4th, where it was grinding, it wound down on grinding, and then it went into 4th, and every other gear. How utterly bizzare.

Check your clutch fork and make sure it didn't come off the pivot ball

That and a seized pilot bearing and grumbly TO bearing. I think it was the pilot that was causing the trand to not wind down until it was forced
