Hi guys, so the other day i was driving when clutch pedal stuck down to floor. Pulled over and found clutch cable had come loose from the release arm. When holding release arm manuslly into position i could still not move into any gear, and also could not hear any movement inside transmission when moving release arm. Have opened green cap on end of transmission to check throw out bearing and throw out bearing looks fine and had good coloured oil when green cap opened. I had a look at push rod and has no sign of wear or 'mushrooming'. One thing i was unsure of is the resting position of pushrod? Should this be sticking out a little once throwout bearing removed? And how hard should it be to move pushrod? Any help on this much appreciated
