Default Re: clutch help for a dummy

As Ed points out, you should have mechanical. That is usually on the drivers side. Most of the time there is a "Z bar" or "bell crank". (cylinder you mention). Pedal rod rotates bell crank which pushes clutch fork rearward and it pivots on it's pivot ball and pushes release bearing forward against clutch fingers to disengage clutch. As KChampagne says, should be easy to observe what is broken, missing, disconnected, worn out. There will be a big ol' return spring down there also.
What is a little unclear is that I think you are saying it only happened once and then it was normal again in other gear changes. That leads me to believe that all the "linkage" is present and operating . This could be a transmission problem. Also check to see if you have all clutch fingers present... if you can see in there. Hopefully, if you do have a flywheel cover, there is nothing laying in the bottom of it.
You are not a dummy. Dummies don't ask for help.
