If clutch is bad, then it would "grind" when trying to put into first gear if engine is running.

You could, with engine off, put in gear and start engine, but if clutch is bad, clutch would slip and you would have no or limited foward drive.

Easiest way to repair clutch is remove entire cradle from bottom. Four bolts hold cradle to frame.

Have someone depress clutch while you watch slave cylinder movement, if it does not move, then bleed slave, if it moves then clutch is suspect.

Is this 4 speed or 5 speed?
