Default Clutch not Disengaging.....master cylinder pulsating

ok....clutch has been having problems disengaging over the last couple of days....today of all days....the clutch stopped disengaging. I felt and heard a loud pulsating sound coming from the clutch pedal. Right now cant get the transmission to go into any gears.....would this be a sign of slave cylinder failure? already spent a few hrs bleeding the clutch.....no improvement at all. Is it time to drop the transmisson and install a new slave cylinder? ....any ideas or thoughts? thx for your help.

If its pulsating, sounds like a throwout bearing or the clutch.

I was thinking it could be the clutch gone bad...maybe the pressure plate broke...clutch seems to be always engaged not disengaging at all. Guess I should look at getting a new clutch too....Thanks for the input .

ive been in a similar situation, normal driving i put it in 5th and began to let off the clutch, i hear a loud *** bang the clutch pedal just became free as a bird all kinds of grinding sounds n ****...pull off the road shut it down, and i couldnt push the clutch pedal in AT ALL, turns out the throwout bearing shattered, so might wanna look into that....hope that helps
