    Clutch problems

    Tonight i was driving home, exiting the freeway. Was in 5th, pushed in the clutch pedal. Pedal pressed like normal, then i hear/feel a pop from the clutch pedal, and the pedal presses in a little further.

    I can press the pedal in, and i can feel a heavy vibration through the clutch pedal. When i engage a gear, the clutch is disengaged enough to not cause the tranny to grind, but when i start to release the clutch pedal, the car will shudder.

    My thoughts are maybe i bent/broke the clutch fork, if there is a clutch fork on the car, maybe the throw out bearing failed, or i popped a band on a pressure plate. Im unsure what the problem is exactly, but im relatively sure its flywheel/pressure plate/clutch related.

    Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

    Is it an OEM clutch kit?? if so did you check the disc at the springs center of disc to see if they where OK?
