Tonight I was headed home from work and I went to downshift for a corner and when I started to release the clutch pedal it slammed into gear and jolted the car very hard. The pedal immediately became stiff and there was noticeable feedback that I could feel through the pedal.
Now the car will not go into gear at all and when I engage the clutch pedal I have to push a lot farther before there is resistance and once fully engaged it makes a strange noise. Sort of an intermittent rubbing sound that repeats with every rotation of the crankshaft.
Can you give me any ideas on what could be the source of the problem? I recently changed the transmission fluid and that did not help, so it seems the problem is isolated to the clutch or one of its components. I really appreciate your help, thank you!
