Hard clutch pedal, clutch won't disengage completely, no noticeable fluid movement in the clutch master cylinder. Can't shift into gear when running. I'm thinking that the clutch master cylinder is the problem, any ideas?

Hi,

Before we replace the clutch master cylinder, try bleeding the system so we can confirm the master cylinder is not pushing fluid.

I attached the directions for bleeding the clutch below. If you find it really isn't pushing fluid, then chances are it is bad. If it appears to be working, the slave may have seized.

Let me know what you find.
