major clutch linkage problems
Today as I was going to class, I slowed down to stop and the clutch dropped to the floor. It wouldn't come up and the shifter locked up. Predicitibly it stalled, but I managed to get the shifter free and shifting normally. I got it in neutral and it ran, but Campus Police had to push me out of traffic and into the parking lot. Tow truck driver was very nice, and he thought that the clutch return spring broke, and/or the cable. The clutch has been groaning in the past, but a little oil fixed that. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I can pull the clutch up by hand, and it says up, but if I push it it falls back to the floor. I did have a really stiff clutch, any ideas? I want a clue before I have to have it towed to a shop. Thanks.
