Pushrod gone?

hi
i was driving home earlier and my clutch cable snapped on the pedal end, so i went and bought a new cable
fitted it but when i pushed the peddle down it was too easy to push like it wasent doing anything at all
and when i turned the car on i couldnt engaged any gears at all. I went up the a vw garage that was close and asked
what he thought it was and he said its either the pushrod has gone through the clutch or something in the gearbox
has broken.
anyone have any ideas what it could be any what i should be looking at money wise to fix it?

cheers

I had this once.
It turned out to be the lever that operates the pushrod/release bearing under the cover on the end of the box had split.
Quite a simple fix in the end

yer i think thats what he said it could be, and said it would cost about 170 i would try and do it myself but i dont have the time and its too damn cold.

Turns out it was the pushrod that had gone through the pressure plate im now £275 poorer

Wow never heard of that before, must of been very old and worn or just very unlucky !!

On the plus side you should have a much lighter clutch now :-)

yer mate sucks i only changed the clutch about 3k miles ago and the clutch doesnt seem any lighter either also wont be driving it much longer as im moving to central london.... bad times
