please help clutch problems!!!!!!
ok here is what happened i did a car cruise and was romping the car pretty hard and all that good stuff clutch was fine the entire day. well the next day i was driving and when i pressed in the pedal when i came up to the stop light the car made a clunk noise and wanted to move forward for a split second it felt like the clutch had not disengaged fully and than it did. after that sometimes it was hard to put into gear after taking it out and reverse was really hard also, if i had it in gear sometimes and let off the brake the car would creap forward this was with the clutch pedal fully pushed in. so i checked the fluid for the hydraulics and there was none in the resevoir so i filled it up and took it home. i proceded to look for the leak and found that the seal on the master cylinder was leaking (where the rod comes out) so i changed that and the slave cylinder at the same time. bled the heck out of the system and it still didn't work. so i put another new unit in and it still does it. so my question is this, is it possible that the pressure plate is jacked up and caused my hydraulics to go out as well?? i don't know because i'm stumped any help would be appreciated. thank you.

You might have to drop your trans and see what's going on. As another test you could hold the slave cylinder in your hand and have a friend push the clutch pedal slowly while you hold the rod to ensure it's working properly. Other than that your problems may lie underneath, possibly with the fork/throwout bearing or pressure plate.

Do NOT fully depress the clutch peddle with the slave cylinder unattached; you'll ruin the slave cylinder. Dismount the slave cylinder, pull out the clutch fork (as far as it will go) and look inside the tranny housing for any signs of damage. The bolt that holds the clutch fork pivot point may be backing out. If so, you'll have to pull the tranny to fix it (and use loctite).
