We'll see tomorrow. The clutch pedal feels too normal to have a burned out clutch. It's almost as if the clutch completely disappeared. There was no fade, just a sudden lack of clutch and the engine was racing. The clutch has under 3,000 miles on it and exhibited no prior problems or weakness before sudden failure to engage.

When I have had clutches burn out in the past, they have caused the shifter and the clutch pedal to lock up. This feels completely normal, except the clutch is missing.. I mean really missing in action.

I've been doing a little research and it looks like it may be a throw out bearing or slave cylinder. Hope not, but that means the trannie is coming out again. Guess i'll have to put in the MSDS headers while the subframe is down.

Anyone else have any ideas?
