Answer:



The throw out bearing likely went bad.
That's very common. But before you condemn it, get someone to operate the pedal while you observe the clutch lever at the bell housing. If the lever fails to move or moves little, check for fluid in the master cylinder. If there is a low fluid level top it up. You may have to bleed the system. If still no movement suspect the clutch master cylinder. If fluid is dripping from the bell housing or clutch cylinder the slave cylinder needs re-sealing/replacing. If all appears normal, there is a phosphor-bronze bushing in the centre of the flywheel (the throw out bearing) which can seize onto the gearbox input shaft.


i just found that anwser very useful,

but what about the clinkkkk sound ive heard when the tob seize ?
what can it be, one spring on the clutch ?
suggestion ?

should i buy a new clutch,
or do i need to buy all the clutch setup whit pressure plate and flywheel
