Morning. Ive woken up today to drive home from my girlfriends got in the and the clutch feels like its stuck down like its always engaged and no matter what i do i can't seem to unengage it. I don't live in leeds and don't know whete a garage is. Its semi drive able but i'm not sure if it would be a good idea. Please any help

Thrust bearings are cheap, but as said above need gearbox off to get to it.

Ill most likely get it repaired but as soon as i can sell this car its going as i've had nothing but trouble from my Peugeot. Which is actually really annoying because i like the look of the car i just wish they were built better.

Do you mean the pedal is to the floor?
Hydraulic or cable clutch?

The clutch is in the normal position, it feels really light and it feels like its always engaged when its in gear it revs kicks in the speed then if i want to go faster i can't as its just like having the clutch pushed down.

Sounds like your pressure plate has failed, happened to mine with the same symptoms. Best to get a clutch kit fitted although you might have to get someone to tow you if it's far to a garage

big factor in it will be if you are attempting to do it your self?
as lot of the times it will cost you more in labour doing clutches / gearboxes etc.

Your near the mechanic that is installing my v6 engine would you like his details?

He might be able to use the clutch and gearbox from my old engine? I have a new clutch setup and gearbox on the v6
