Towed to the dealer

Well was driving the car yesterday no problem. My cousin needed to use the car to deliver some parts to his engine builder. He comes back to my shop coasting saying it will not go into gear. He hoped out and the clutch is dang near touching the brake pedal. I looked under and the sheet metal connecting the pedal assembly to the firewall had split right under the bolt. I had the car towed to the nearest dealer and now I just hope they pick up my call (they have not today). The tow truck driver said it looked like I was going to cry when he picked it up.



Cliffs: car is broke

Your clutch pedal assembly most likely broke... it's a known problem and is covered under the 8yr/100k if I remember correctly.
