Q: Throwout bearing fork problem
I have an issue with the throwout bearing fork. It's not allowing the clutch to engage.

All of the components in the clutch linkange are susceptible to wear and tear over the years and should be inspected. A certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, would be able take a look at the linkages and cable to make sure there is no damage.
