My car has a 5-speed manual transmission. The clutch was just replaced and then, all of the sudden, it went out and won't engage. The pedal is flimsy, almost as if it needed to be bled. The only lead I have on the true issue is that when you rev the engine, there is a rattling in the transmission. I looked at it to find the rattling sound, and it was coming from a metal piece on a cable on top of the transmission. I don't know if that is the clutch cable, but it is my leading suspicion. I don't want to tear apart the transmission when it could be something simple.
Extra details:
-The problem first occured because the driver had the clutch pedal depressed, pre-shifted into first (I do not condone that decision), and the clutch must have caught and caused a loud noise.
-When the car is off, the shifter easily slips into each speed gear and reverse.
Thanks for your help!
