Clutch Master Cylinder Problem?

I have a 91 RS 350 and T-5 Swapped but ne how i was at the stop light the other day and left perfectly normal and when i shifted into second gear the clutch linkage broke off of the pedel so i put a screwdriver thru the linkage and pedel and i could not push the clutch pedel i actually broke the screwdriver and the linkage did not line up with the pedel so has neone else had this problem or can someone throw their two cents in either a master cylinder or a linkage problem i dont think the clutch is blow because the trans grabs gears still if i try to start the car it jerks forward or if the clutch is blow just lookin for any input

Re: Clutch Master Cylinder Problem?

The same thing happened to my '85 Z a few months ago. The previous owner replaced the clutch last year (he is a good friend of mine so I know he had it done). I posted about it here but no one seemed to know what the problem is. As soon as the weather gets nicer up here I am gonna go out and check the clutch fork to see if it is binding which could result in the hydraulic system being unable move it. I can move the fork by hand on my '89 RS so I assume I should be able to do the same thing on the Z.(?) If I can move it then I will assume that the tranny is fine and check/replace the master and slave cylinders.

Let me know if you figure out the problem.

open bleeder screw and re-bleed system. is what happened when the pushrod came off it cause mater cylinder or slave to hydraulic lock. Had this happen on my T/A and couldn't even move the clutch pedal till bleeder screw was opened and bled.
