Clutch Gone?
Well, let me just say this. Basically, there is a stoplight by my house and there was nobody around (which I've been waiting for a long time) so I rev it up to about 6K and release the clutch I do a pretty decent roasting of the tires through 1st and into 2nd. Luckily my house was within coasting distance of where I did this because when I pull into my driveway the car will not go into any gear. I get out and push the car into the garage. Like I said the car won't go into any gear while the engine is running, when its off it will go into any gear with a little more effort than normal so I decided to put it in 1st with the engine off then start the car, it lunges forward and dies. The Master cylinder and the slave cylinder are operating properly. The best I can think of and hope for is the clutch is done. So what are your opinions and then what clutch kit do you recommend? I will be going turbo here in the next month with around 350whp. I want a clutch kit with obviously the holding capacity but something that is streetable. Thanks in advance!

You could smell it! I released it all the way I'm sure of that. I got it towed to the Honda dealership last night so I'll know something as soon as it's taken apart. Are there any good sites that sell Exedy Clutch Kits?

You claim you roasted your tires, NOT your clutch. If you fried your clutch, it would be slipping like crazy. With a slipping clutch, you would not have much difficulty getting it into any gear, when sitting still, engine running, clutch to the floor. Your symptoms would indicate that your clutch is NOT disengaging at the moment. This points towards a bad master cylinder, a bad slave cylinder, a damaged or broken release fork, a bad connection between the slave cylinder plunger and release fork socket.
Go ahead and change your clutch if that

When I'm disengaging the clutch the shift fork is releasing like it is supposed to. Correct me if I'm wrong but it wouldn't do this if the master or the slave cylinder was inop.
