I have a 1970 fj40 and a few weeks back I went to drive it and found that when I let the clutch out the car would not move. I was able to change gears but that did not matter, no matter what gear I was in the car would not move. I thought something withing the clutch mechanism had failed, so I ordered a clutch kit and dropped the transmission. The clutch disc was extremely worn, and the flywheel had multiple cracks and some heat damage. the clutch fork and throwout bearing were still connected and not damaged. I pulled off the clutch and sent the flywheel to get resurfaced. Is it possible that the car was not moving due to an extremely damaged clutch? I am concerned that the internals of the transmission are damaged however, I am able to shift gears and I can turn the input shaft and the output shaft does turn, even when giving it resistance. I also suspected the differential but I can turn the driveshaft flange and it turns both wheels. Am I missing something? or is it most likely just a bad clutch?
Thank You.
