It seems that mechanical linkage has less probabilities of damages or malfunction because it's simpler than hydraulic systems.
(The self adjusting system may become inoperative or damaged too)
no, it has a mechanical linkage style clutch operation.
If the clutch is hydraulic, yes. If the linkage is mechanical, no.
It is likely that you had to dismantle your hydraulic clutch to do the work so.Is there air in the hydraulics?Is the linkage and clutch release bearing assembled correct.Is there a hole in the hydraulicsIf it is a cable or mechanical linkage is it assembled correctly?
Several causes are possible, including:Low hydraulic clutch fluid. Check this first since it's a cheap and easy fix.Air in the hydraulic clutch lines.Faulty clutch master or slave cylinder.Worn out, damaged, or faulty clutch.Bent or damaged mechanical clutch linkage.
It depends on the type of clutch linkage. If it's mechanical linkage the clutch could be worn and the rod dropped out. If it's a hydraulic clutch, the clutch master or slave cylinder could be worn out.
The Ls has a hydraulic clutch mechanism
You don't. They use either a linkage or a hydraulic clutch.
There are several different answers, depending on what is happening. If you have a hydraulic clutch, there maybe air in the system that is not allowing the clutch to release. If it is a Mechanical clutch, a linkage may have come loose or broken. A Shifter linkage may have broken or came apart which will not allow the connection from the shift lever to the Transmission.
It's a hydraulic clutch ( the clutch fluid reservoir is near the brake master cylinder )
If it has a hydraulic clutch I'd suspect a leak in the master or slave cylinder. If it isn't a hydraulic clutch I'd check the linkage.
There are several advantages of a hydraulic clutch system. They include the use of compressible fluid, ease of spotting leaks over a mechanical clutch, and a high power density and actuators.
If it's a hydraulic clutch, try bleeding the slave cylinder. Manual linkage, try adjusting the clutch. If no help, something's wrong with the pressure plate and you need a new clutch.
