Did you try adjusting the pedal? Can you see the slave rod moving at all?
I highly doubt its the pedal, it was working fine up untill I was on my way back to work today from my lunch break. Going down a hill and notice I couldn't get it into gear. So I had to drive it back to work then back home with the clutch always engaged.

I inspected the lines, including the ss line I have for it, and there's no leaks. Fluid level is full. Got down and tried wiggling the fork, seems solid to me. My guess is the pressure plate is done.

My bet is a spring broke out of the disc and is wedged on a PP fin.

Thats the exact thing that happened to me about 2 years ago or so. It was then that I decided to have Mr. Vogel rebuild my engine.

I'm trying to look at this as a positive thing. I can now take the time to pull the pan off, the vc off, and many other things to fix the many oil leaks. Do a compression test, etc.

Last time I did a compression test I don't think any of the cylinders were over 130.

Sounds like this is probably your issue.

Since I'm more than likely going to need a clutch, I'm stuck between two transmissions. I have a nt tranny with shorter gear ratios and a turbo tranny with longer ones. I have heard the nt transmission is a bit weaker, but the idea of shorter gears makes me lean that way. Thing is, depending on which tranny I use, I'll need a different clutch for each. The bellhousing on the nt is smaller, therefor needing a smaller clutch.

seriously, 130? what are all the numbers. is your tester reading low? i would think you would have better numbers. iwould stick with the turbo tranny, its treating you good. if it ever fails toss in the nt. now rip that trannsmission off, and get to work, ill get down when ican. didnt that happen to your last clutch, i thought it did when i saw it out

I would also stick with the turbo tranny. The gears aren't really that tall, and you'll still be able to wind out first and second in no time flat.

I'd check the Master and slave cylinders before pulling the tranny.

Oh yes, I will. I need someone to help pump the pedal while I watch it. I've been busy so I haven't gotten out there.

Everything that I can see from the outside looks fine. I looked inside the tranny behind the dust boot over the fork and can't really see much. So I started taking my tires off up front and broke my 3/8 ratchet. lol Need to get my dad's 1/2 inch drive set.

I did however pull the exhaust side off the motor. I can already see a lot of the oil leakage is from the valve cover and some from the middle exhaust stud that has an oil passage behind it.

I have a wedding to go to today at 1 but when I get back I'll get out there and get some pics and get dirty.
