cant see the picture you posted but i looked at that link. thats exactly what im taking about. make sure theres no tools that fell in that area or rocks or something. highly doubtful but doesnt hurt to check

 

just checked the linkage. everything looks straight and pins are in there still.

 

i will but isnt it weird for my clutch to stop disengaging from regular use? why would i need adjustment in the first place if i didnt do any modifications?? just a thought.

 

take a peak at the wedge collar and see if its still intact. It prolly jus popped off.

 

Could also be the throwout bearing. Had a piece break off and it got hard to engage and then wouldn't engage at all. Just another idea.

 

I had an customer car in at my shop with an almost identical problem.

He was running an cerametallic ( sinter ) puck clutch, the disk was "welded" to the flywheel due to too many standing starts back to back. ( too much heat and not enough driving after that to cool it down )

Maybe the same when an unexperienced driver trying to get the car to roll. LOL

It is defiantly an clutch problem.If it was the transmission, it is usually exactly opposite.
No shifting without running engine, easier with running engine.

So, check the clutch first.

 

im not sure where that is could you please explain it for me sorry....

yes thats another possibility thank you


thank you for your comments i will be adjusting the clutch today

 

I just got back from adjusting the clutch. It seems like the clutch is disengaging and it goes into all gears with ease now. But its gonna take me sometime to get used to clutch grabbing at such a higher point now lol.
I will follow up by changing clutch/trans fluid and readjusting and see if it completely solves the problem. Thanks for all your help.

I do have another question tho. And that is what could have possible caused this problem?? And how could I prevent it from happening againg??

 

There was an problem of the 2002/2003 Clutch hard lines
They sometimes get an crack right in one of the bends after wiggeled around to much during an clutch install. Some wetspot there ?

 

Also make sure youre clutch is fully engaging after you let it out. You can adjust it WAY out to make you have more clutch travel, just be sure the clutch is also fully engaging so it doesnt start slipping REAL quick.

 

bump for possible cause for this problem
and how to prevent from happening again
