Default Wtf?

Alright so I adjusted my clutch so that it didn't grab on the floor, but when I would have to start my car I would have to push the clutch to the floor (since I didn't disconnect the starter clutch switch) and it would be very hard because the pedal wouldn't want to go to the floor. Long story short all of a sudden while I am driving my clutch or flywheel started making a scraping noise and it wouldn't engage correctly. Today when I tried working on it I jaked it up and put it in gear and I noticed that the left wheel wasn't moving, just the right. I am wondering how this could have happened and how I might be able to fix it. Thanx for your help.

I don't get what you said but if its fwd and you start it and someone puts into 1st gear and gives it gas only 1 wheel will spin. If they throw it in reverse the opposite wheel will spin.

A scraping noise might be your throw out bearing. Tend to do that when their not installed correctly or weren't properly greased.

I think I might have blown out my master slave cylinder, because the clutch doesn't engage right and a makes a scraping noise as two metals were scraping.

Check for leaks. Usually if the seal goes bad in the master cylinder it will tend to leak inside the car. Just look inside the car and look up against the firewall to see if there's a trail of fluid going down. Slave cylinder leaks as well at the rubber boot. If you pull the boot and fluid comes out then I would assume its no good because thats what happened to the slave cylinder on my old 1g.

Who did the tranny? are you sure that it was installed correctly? The TOB would make that kind of noise.

I got my tranny, clutch, flywheel, master, and slave cylinder done at sidewinder while I worked there. Art and I both did it. Everything is done correctly I greased the splines thankyou. It's becuase the slave cylinder isn't engaging all the way. I am in the prossess of fixing it now.
