Clutch seized (?)

[conker]

Hey guys. Ive got a brand new ax15 in my 87 chief, everything but the clutch pedal is a new part and it was working fine when I parked it a long while ago.

 

I can push the pedal in fine, and can see the pushrod clearly moving on the slave cyl when I had a helper hit the pedal for me.

 

My best guess is the plates are just seized but ive tried a good bit of methods for fixing that with no result (bumping key in gear clutch to floor and foot on brakes)

 

Now, when I pulled the slave off I noticed 2 things, the plastic guide strap or whatever its called on the end of the pushrod is broken on one side(looked it up, didn't realize this was supposed to bust off anyway), and the fork seems loose? I'm not sure how much movement the fork should have but I can wobble it up and down and push it in without much resistance.

 

I'm not really sure where to go from here but I'm figuring ill drop the trans tomorrow and see whats what in the bellhousing. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

 

tonight I'm probably going to go for a sketchy jack stand setup and try to stand on the brakes in gear with the clutch pedal down in 4wd.

Internal slave?

Internal slave?

I'm going to assume external since he mentioned pushrod for the slave and clutch fork.

External slave cylinder, yeah.

Sounds like the fork may have come off the pivot point since you can see everything moving and the fork wiggles about.  Only real way to know is to take it apart and look.  Can't think of anything else myself, but i'm running on 3 hours of sleep and woke up 12 hours ago.  My brain isn't functioning well enough to think lol
