Clutch siezed
 
Anyone had this isssue...
Clutch arm on tranny seized. Changed one slave cylinder and it broke again when i replaced it. Clutch arm on tranny is fully extended and does not return. ... ? Im guessing the clutch is siezed.. any ideas..?

You're going to need a clutch kit.. Cover Assembly/Pressure Plate, friction disc, and a throwout/release bearing... Check the sleeve around the input shaft that the throwout bearing glides along for scoring or damage.. make sure to lube it properly when installing the new throwout bearing (BMW/MINI has a special high temp grease they specify.. and dont over-do it)

If you aren't equiped to remove a FWD transmission, then you may want to leave this one to a professional.
