96 850 wagon with manual transmission.

The other day clutch pedal was pressed and now will not return. The clutch is permanently disengaged (engine not powering the wheels). Clutch was feeling a bit low but was still very driveable.

This is opposite what I would expect to happen if there was a leak, maybe the slave cylinder pushed out too far and got jammed?

Any clues as to what this could be? I have never run into an issue like this in a manual before.

Thanks

 

I had this issue on a BMW, I needed a new clutch. The pressure plate went bad.

 

Yep; your pressure plate probably let go...

Could be the clutch slave cyl is stuck all the way out, but i would still bet on pressure plate...

 

It was the pressure plate unfortunately,

Thanks for the help
