I was driving around, running some errands...when I push the clutch pedal and it's still engaged.
First, I think hydraulic problem. I pop the hood, the clutch fluid level is fine. Then i notice the shift fork at the end of the push rod shaking as if it was loose. I get a towel from inside the car and reach down and what do you know... it's loose.

So, I decide now would be a good time to go to the shop and have them put in my new clutch for me. Normally, I would do everything on my own, but I'm in my last semester of college and time is limited between work and school. I had to start the car in first at every light ad then shift without the clutch just to get to the shop.

Three days later, still not done. They try to call me and tell me that it's a hydraulic problem. They put in the clutch, but now it won't go into gear properly.

This is a new problem for me... what would cause the shift fork to come loose and have the clutch not disengage?

Finally got my car back Friday evening.
After those guys taking 4 days just to put in the clutch, they realized friday morning that the pivot ball stud needed to be replaced.

Another problem was they somehow managed to shred the rubber shift fork boot. How does this happen? It's not like it was hard to take off in the first place, so it shouldn't have been under any kind of pull/stress.

The place was called "Certified Transmissions"
The appropriate name would have been 'certified idiots'
