V-8 Intake Gasket Replace now Clutch doesn't work?????

[callen]

Replaced water pump then had oring's where tubes go to back of block start leaking...so removed intake replaced gaskets PCV plate etc etc and started her up.....took for hard test drive (Wife would take to work in morning) and she ran great..better than ever. In the morning....5 hours later!! Clutch wouldn't engage.....like clutch slave or master is bad.....can't see how changing intake gaskets had anything to do with it....coincidence???? Any thoughts..

Thanks

it's a coincidence i don't know what to say other then looking for wet spots by the peddles and or fluid dripping from the bottom of the tranny

Wait, if it wont engage then its not fluid its mechanical, the fluid just dis engages right? or am i missing something?

[callen]

None....bone dry, resevoir was full.......

Replaced the slave cylinder last night just in case and bled her good and still same thing......can get in gear when off but can't when started. Can hear the pressure plate when clutch is ingaged.....

Hate to try clutch master and stil not fix it...next step pull transmission....ARGHHHH

[callen]

when you push clutch in it disengages engine from transmission....my problem is classic hydraulic but afraid I may have clutch disc, pressure or throw out bearing problem.....
