What did I do to my clutch?
What did I do to my clutch? So I am trying to get my old race car fixed up to sell. Today I was replacing the floor pan due to rust. I salvaged a pan from the junk yard and proceeded to cut out mine. All went well, i riveted it in place so when I tack weld it in, it would stay put. I get all the rivets in and had to move the car. No issue whatsoever. A few minutes later I moved it into position to tack weld. I get finished welding and let it all cool down. I go to move the car and the clutch pedal will not go down. I pushed hard and it may have moved a tiny amount but will not depress. If it was a rivet and drill issue I wouldn’t be able to move the car twice before welding. I have no idea what I did to mess up my clutch.
Thanks

Makes no sense to me what could have happened other than welding caused excessive heat to the clutch master or line running to the slave. Have you tried bleeding the master and slave?
I ran out of time and energy after trying to push it out of the way to check anything. I thought I read somewhere that a hose could cause the pedal not to be able to be depressed. It must be the heat from welding but I guess I will need to get under it and see.
