Tonight me and my buddy were messing with my car.. we advanced the timing to 14-15 degrees and then took it for a ride. my car is now so much faster than it was. there was such a difference at where it is now than before and then i let him drive and when he went to shift into third gear i blew out my clutch...the clutch still grabs fine but i believe it is the throw out bearing. i could hear the throw out bearing for a while but i had no concern of it really. but anyways...i made him pull the car over and i got into drive it. i couldnt shift it into any gear while the car was running so i shut the car off, put it in first gear, and then cranked the car. while i was cranking the car it was trying to roll forward the whole time. while i was going home i had to shift by just sliding it into gear at the right RPM's..the clutch still grabs fine like i said but now there is a loud squealing noise....the reason i made this thread is to really ask what my exact problem is and to make sure this is my clutch and not something major. is my clutch cable or hydrolic..could i have snapped a cable maybe?

you clutch is not hydraulic. and this is why you never let other people drive your car.

one you adjust timing you need to check TPS again, also no all cars like timing up around 14,15 some like it at 12 instead. this is why you just cant go by what ppl say, you need to go by how the car reacts

for your problem, look into replacing the clutch

yeah, sounds like a snapped clutch cable.

ok well i once had it were i couldn't shift into any gear because my clutch cable was snapped...it was an 8 dollar part...might want to check that out

i am working on my car right now and i know its not the clutch cable. the cable is in good condition. its tight and everything.

Your clutch isn't releasing all the way.Have someone with transportation help you take it apart and be ready to run to the parts store.

That doesnt make sence!If the clutch wasnt releasing you couldnt move.Do you still have a clutch pedal?If so you might have snapped the throwout bearing.The clutch is still working if you can move so I would think its either the plastic quadrant piece or the fork or throwout bearing
