Clutch fork broke. Somewhat common problem, plan on pulling out the transmission, may as well replace the entire clutch at that point.

thank you for your reply. That makes sense becouse while i was driving without clutch on low speed i heard some “wrench droping noises” from tranny. Not grinding. That expensive service 🤦‍♂️. I did control arm bushings and i was crying because of subdrame . Imagine how much shop gonna charge me for tranny service. At least 800 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

thank you again u solved problem.

I had the opposite. I needed a new clutch and flywheel and my mechanic insisted on replacing the clutch fork while they were in there. Total job was about $1500 including parts. I got over 140k miles and 10 years on the factory clutch. So it was due and I don't have an issue spending that much at this point.

Yeah, I have a 2013 S that now has 131k on it, and at 90k miles my clutch got super soft while driving home from work, ultimately reaching the point of no longer disengaging the clutch. Pulled the transmission to find my clutch fork snapped in half...
