Well, it's the unofficial start of summer, so my car decided it was time to act up.
At any rate, my clutch pedal now goes all the way to the floor and can't disengage the clutch. And it only returns about halfway. I checked the linkage and everything outside the bell housing looks okay to me. The threaded rod that connects the fork and that arm is run all the way out, but it looks like it's always been like that. And if it was simply an adjustment issue, would it have happened so fast? One shift it was fine, the next was bad.
My old '68 shop manual lists 19 different reasons for "clutch drag". Anyone got any advice/ideas before I dig in?------------------

It sounds like something broke. Maybe inside the bellhousing.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. I'm planning on getting in there and checking it out Friday afternoon. I was hoping maybe not to have to drop the transmission, but I can't see any indication of trouble on the outside, so in I go...------------------
