Clutch bearing or master cylinder - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #72276 11 posts Started by my96celica
So here is the problem. I can't put my car in gear and I was told That it is my clutch master cylinder or my clutch bearing. I can put it in gear but it is hard,also the clutch bearing makes a spinning noise. How could I find out which one it is without taking apart my tranny?
do you have clutch pedal pressure?

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
Yes, When I push in the clutch my car feels like I just hit the brake.(pushing me forward)
if you have clutch pedal pressure then it isnt your master cylinder.

check if your shifter cables are stretched

My release bearing makes alot of noise when I push it in also.
how old is it?? how many miles?

It's either your throwout bearing or your clutch itself is about to go. It sounds more like it's the clutch itself. There's no way of checking the throwout bearing though w/out dropping the tranny, so just count on doing a clutch job. Get the whole clutch kit, it'll come with the throwout bearing. And don't be cheap, get your flywheel resurfaced while you're in there, it's the lamest thing people cheap out on and it WILL cause problems.

I have the clutch kit and I would rather sell the car then fix it... I have had this car four or five years now and I have done all the work to it myself. It is sad for me to see i go but it is bad luck for me. It has been hit three times now.(parked all three times. frown.gif If you guys know anyone that might want it let me know and I will post the pictures of the car the way it is now.
you selling it for cheap?
Might be interested
