it's a Fidanza 2.1 has 9,500 miles on it OEM flywheel (resurfaced twice, had it on my act in the past) still suprised flywheel was resurfaceable?!! this is b.s car does not move at all clutch was fine yesterday. i think it's the flywheel. since trans is going to be pulled out might as well order new clutch

Did you try adjusting the clutch pedal?

Its a little strange that it would go out all of a sudden with no hints of fading.

my previous clutch was actmb7hdss i hated it severe knockout, so you agree with me i need new clutch?, i remember last week i was in 5th downshifted to 3rd a grind then revs going up and smell, thats why i made the pedal lower and now this happened
