Still won't go!

Afternoon everybody! Trevor, the S3 is still in a sorry state.. I posted a thread about this a while back but nothing ever got solved, I've got it down to the clutch for definite, but still unsure why it won't go into gear! I've replaced the Master cylinder today, and all I feel is left is slave cylinder or clutch fork pin possibly?

 The pedal is very good since I fitted a new master cylinder, It's very heavy and you can feel the resistance all the way through the travel (The pedal was soft until I bled it...) unlike it used to be even after bleeding,  So now I'm stuck!

 Do I change the slave cylinder and hope it's that? I'm hoping I don't have to pull the gearbox Due to lack of space. :x

 I really want this done before Thursday because that's when I have my test and want to be able to drive it in-case i do pass! It's been terrible learning and not being able to drive it! I have a real passion for the landy's and have done since I was tiny but getting more and more hacked off!  :(

P.S Bear in mind the clutch dissapeared overnight!  :roll:

Has it been sat a while? If so the clutch plate may have rusted to the flywheel. To test this chock wheels, put it in gear, handbrake on, clutch down and try to start engine. It may unstick with a bang! The fact you get some resistance on the clutch pedal suggests it's working although I would change the slave cylinder whenever I change the master - could be why the pedal went overnight. Did the fluid level go down?

Hope this helps

 Like I said, the clutch dissapeared overnight. I parked it, went to drive the next day and nothing..

 We tried to start it in gear the day it happened and it rolled forward, we also tried to start it today in gear and it rolled forward again so I'm clueless.. I'm puling my hair over it.. There's lots of reasons a clutch could do that But very few over night.. I'll order a slave cylinder and hope that fixes it, if not.. Time to take the Bell-housing off I guess :roll:
