My celi has been down for a few months b/c I live in an apartment and can't fix the problem. It started when I was driving along and felt some play in the clutch pedal before feeling any pressure. Over 3 days it got worse, and eventually to the point where I couldn't shift gears. Knowing this I brought the car to my friend's house. I started it in 2nd gear and drove there. I came to a red light, so I'm at astop in 2nd gear, with the clutch pedal pushed down. The damn clutch started to engage and the car nearly stalled. Now, when I start the car in gear with the clutch pedal down, I have to come off of the clutch, fading it to start it, which means that it's not disengaging when pressing the pedal. I thought it might be the clutch master cylinder, pressure plate, or I guess slave cylinder. I just removed my clutch cyl and I don't see any destroyed boots. I also have an mr2 tranny sitting here, but putting it on is gonna suck. Any thing else it could be, or what do you guys think?

sounds like the same problem my friend had in his dsm. turned out that the clutch was shot and wouldnt disengage anymore. it got so bad that you couldnt shift the car into 1st gear without tuning off the motor.
it might be worth it to check your clutch fluid too, to see if you have a leak. then try a clutch pedal adjustment. if none of those work, pull the trans, you should see a damaged clutch disk in there. btw, what clutch are you using and how many miles are on it? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
