Clutch problem. need help identifying if its
Transmission problem
1989 Mazda 323 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 170k miles
my mazda 323 has a eight month old clutch in it with >10k on it. one day on my way to work i went to shift while at cruising speed about (50 mph) and the clutch went straight to the floor and stayed there. it was like a was trying to shift into a wall. at first i thought i stretched or broke the clutch cable. a friend of mine told me that the cable i was looking at is the speedo cable. does the speedo cable go directly from the upper firewall on the drivers side to a lever on the tranny? does the speedo lever pull everytime you push the clutch in? if this is the speedo where is my clutch cable/master cyl/slave cyl. this sound like a slave cyl problem to me because the clutch is always engaged even when the mystery lever is pulled back. does this car share a master cyl for the clutch and brakes? where is the cluch fork!!! i feel so lost looking at this cars clutch system. it seems to be very different then others i have dealt with. a link to a labled diagram of an engine bay, or service manual or anything would be awesome.
