Clutch Issues
Lately I've had this issue with my clutch where it isn't disengaging entirely. Normally I'd think either it's worn down and binding or that the cable is stretched, but it's a 4 month old kevlar disc and the cable is well within adjustment. The real kicker that made me look past those 2 is the fact that randomly, it worked and operated normally for a whole city drive of about 60mi. After sitting, the problem resurfaced. To detail, here's exactly what happens:
After starting the car, with the clutch fully depressed I cannot enter or exit a gear. I can still shift clutchless when driving, but any time I get to a full stop, I have to turn off the car, shift to first, and restart. When I do this, I can hold the clutch pedal and brake at the same time, and the car will not die when it's in gear. It idles normally. Still, though, I can't shift into any gear at the same time.
After messing with the cable adjustment and such in the drive for a while, I gave up, returned the cable to it's original setting, and decided to simply drive it to the shop until I had a better idea as to the problem. It drove perfectly all the way to the shop, zero issues, and I could shift any time I wanted including at standstill without it fighting me.
Any ideas what else could be going on? This all makes me fairly certain it isn't a clutch disc or cable issue, but what else is there?
