First of all, I have my flame suit on ; ) and I have researched this but it wasnt broad enough to give me an answer to my problem. Thanks in advance to all the flamers and all the help x10000000000000
So went to the track the other night and after i ran my second pass when I pulled it out of gear the car started over reving like I threw it back in second. I stepped on the clutch and forced it out of gear. After that everything was fine. Slowed down and tried to put it back in gear to go back to pit and it wouldn't go in. Also the clutch pedal felt weird. So I coasted off to the sidE and pushed the car back to to the pit. When I got back into pit I put the car into gear while car was off and everthing seemed to be fine. So i started up the car again and tried to put the car into gear but it wouldn't go into gear. And the clutch pedal didn't feel so well. So after that I let the car and cool down and hopefully it was just cause car was too hot. Tried after 30 min still the same. So I figured either the clutch blew. So I went back into the car and tried to start it in gear. Started fine like if you were to push start it. Clutch grabbed fine but wouldn't go out of gear.. Stuck in gear and wouldn't pop out. But if I stepped on the clutch as far as I could it almost seemed like it was trying to go into neutral. So I left it for the rest of the day and towed it home. So to my conclusion it's either the clutch cable being loose or either it's the throw out bearing. So my question is, has anyone had this same problem. Trying to save myself from the trouble of pulling out the whole damn engine cause I don't have access to a lift just to pull out the tranny and break everything apart.
Things to note, I havnt recently changed the clutch, clutch fluid was good, and tranny still grabs when in gear, it just won't come out of gear or go in gear.
