Car will move foward even when clutch is depressed. I just had the clutch replace for this very problem and now it is doing it again 3 days later. The car is a 93 Ford Escort with the 1.9L engine

Bearing noises in a clutch system are easily distinguished by running a few simple tests. Start the engine and leave the transmission in neutral. If a transmission makes noise when it is in neutral it is often a worn input shaft bearing. Now depress the pedal until the clutch just engages. This is the point where the release bearing is just contacting the pressure plate fingers. If you begin to hear a squealing sound this is likely a worn release bearing. If a whirling noise is present when the clutch pedal is fully depressed it is probably the pilot bearing.

Maybe your clutch slave cylinder is bad.

It sounds like either the clutch plate or pressure plate. Can you move the car in gear without too much trouble? Some resistance, but can be done! Then you will need to replace the clutch and pressure plates.

It is most likely suspects.

WHEN TAKING OFF THE CAR REVS UP BUT DOES NOT MOVE, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP N.P.D.R. WHEN YOU TRAVEL ABOUT 100KMH THE CAR MOVES WELL. ONLY ON TAKE OFF THERE IS A PROBLEM.

sounds like the revese clutch is broken. a rebuild or used transmission is your only choices

I had to take my car back to the dealership twice. First, they replaced the ignition switch. 3 days later, my car wouldn't start again. So I took it back and they called VW - VW said to replace the steering column module. I asked my dealer why they didn't replace the steering colum module first - they said that even if they had replaced that first, the old ignition switch would have shorted out the steering column module. Whatever.
$600 later my car has been fine for about 3 weeks now. If it happens again I will keep you posted.
Good luck!

Hi,

In all likelihood two (2) possibilities:

• defective clutch cable (most likely); and/or
• defective clutch fork (least likely).

Should it be the cable, this might be of help. It is turns out to be the fork, you might need the services of a qualified professional or a dealership.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
