$&%# THIS CAR!!!
ok so i left work tonight and the clutch made some weird clacking/sticking noises when i pushed the pedal so i drove up sans the clutch(thank god i didnt hit a red light) and when i got home i pushed the clutch in so i could get into first and get up the driveway. Now when i released the clutch it grabbed ON the floor and stayed there. I'm so fed up with the car so i just left it but now i want to try and figure out what it could be.
my hope is that its just slave cylinder related but im curious what else may be happening...keep in mind the clutch itself has only 1-2k on it. Pretty much im just trying to make myself feel better in the hope that i wont have to pony up another 5 bills for a new clutch. ill pull the slave tomorrow and see whats up in the bellhousing and figure out if the trans needs to come out again

Well i went to unbolt the slave from the bellhousing and it turns out that the slave cylinder pushrod had wedged itself inbetween the bellhousing and the clutch fork...ill get another one tomorrow and hopefully all will be well
