uh oh, I know first hand what this is, and it's not pretty. The clutch system on the turbo models work backwards from a normal clutch, instead of pushing in on the clutch cover, it pulls out. The release bearing is put in the center of the clutch cover, and the hub that the clutch fork grabs is put through it and secured with snap rings, snap ring breaks, you don't have a clutch :angry:
If you have a turbo model and you push the clutch in and it goes all the way to the floor and won't come back, well, the inside snap ring broke, and it's not going to be fun. It sounds like on your car that the outside snap ring might have broken, allow clutch movement, but a lot of free play.
If it's NOT a turbo model, it's a normal clutch system, it can be some other things. The clutch fork is held to the release bearing with 2 clips, if the clips are gone, you might have the same problem. Release bearing could be binding, clutch pivot could be broken, ect. Lots of reason, and the only way to tell is to start checking things.
Yeah, read this thread, and then the next day it happened to me, so not funny...
