Help is it a blown hydraulic clutch line or what?

I got a phone call from my son, while at work. All resistance in the clutch pedal went, while he was shifting gears. Car does not go, I guess the clutch doesn't engage.

I called him a tow truck, I have to work overtime, and I don't want to work on the side of the road

It sounds like either hydralics went or the lever is hanging up

any suggestions?

I've had the exact same thing happen to me and it was the hydraulic line. Have him look under the car for fluid. Good luck!

Yeah I phoned him back. He told me that the clutch was disengaged.
I don't know if he's sure or not.
He told me that it was in neutral, no resistance from the pedal

I figure a busted line, and he is misinterpreting what's happened, or the clutch lever/fork is jammed open.

It's helpful to know what year/configuration car. If it's a T56, there's a single bolt that holds the pivot point for the clutch fork. Mine failed and gave similiar results. I've learned to loctite it in place.

I'd think if the line busted the clutch would be engaged.
