Default Clutch went out

well i was driving on the highway today and my buddy pulls up next to me in his 93 z28 and he guns it a little so i go to down shift and as soon as i get the clutch all the way in i hear a pop and feel it in the clutch and now the clutch is looser than it was before and it won't go into any gear. i think its the clutch spring but i'm not sure. i got the car about 3 weeks ago and i have a 3 month warranty on it so i shouldn't have to pay for it. if you guys think its anything else let me know thanks.

Only one problem with that...

Clutch is a wear and tear item... it's probably not covered.

Are you sure the cable hasnt snapped? A clutch isnt that bad of a job, with proper tools it should only take about 3 hours.. Dont forget to resurface the flywheel

i don't think its the clutch because the clutch was brand new. i think its the transmission not the clutch now, but the car is at the dealership right now and i haven't heard from them yet. i hope its just an easy fix, but it probably isn't.

probably a clutch cable. should have tried to start it in first see if it was engaged. i just had to put a clutch in my car and the cable didnt snap, but stretched enough to where i couldnt put it in any gear. so i just started it in first or reverse, and shifted without a clutch.

that reassures me that its not the transmission now, cause that is what mine is doing. i did try to put it in reverse with it running and the clutch in and it was grinding. well i hope its just a cable or spring, it would be an easy fix then.

the dealership called me and they think that the clutch went bad. does the clutch make a pop when it goes out?
