Ok here is the deal. Im driving to work and I notice that it is difficult to engage 2nd gear, so I try 3rd. Nope 3rd doesnt work either! I am like WTF? The rest of the gears stop working too.

I pull over and turn off the car. I am able to shift into all gears when the car is off, so I know that the shifter cables are fine. I turn on the car and try again, still nothing. I cant engage any gear at all.

So what are my options here? Is it the clutch (pressure plate, disk)?

The car felt just fine before this happened. The clutch wasnt slipping and there were no odd noises from the throw out bearing.

I just changed my clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. Bled the entire system and still the same thing.

P.S. This is a 3SGTE engine w/S53 transmission. Centerforce dual friction clutch with stock 3sgte pressure plate.

Any ideas???

have someone in the car pumping the clutch petal while you look at the slave cylinder. Make sure its moving.

Yeah its moving fine.

sounds like your clutch springs went bad.

Yeah I think its the clutch too. I already contacted Spec about getting a kit. Probably will go with just a stage 1 since the 3sgte stage 1 can handle 378ft-lbs which is more than enough for me. I wont be going more than 15psi on the CT26.
