I was driving today and while pressing the clutch down to move up to third gear it sounded like something broke, a sort of knock noise. It wasn't a violent knock, just soft. So now the clutch pedal feels loose, and it will not go into gear easily or at all, my dad had to do some sort of gear rpm timing maneuver to change through the gears without having to engage the clutch so we could get home. So I know it is probably nothing to do with the gearbox, and maybe with the clutch kit. The problem is I dont know where to look for parts that may have broken. Does anyone know what may have happened and how it can be fixed? Thanks The car is a KE20 with a 4k motor.

Hey guys, hoping someone has some suggestions: Recently had to replace my 88 Econovan maxi box since a friend mashed something up and I lost 1st and 5th. The box I put in was second hand, slightly different but I was assured it would bolt right up by the wrecker. (I confirmed the spline count was the same). I installed the replacement box, no issues bolting it up, but I got a loud whirring noise when I engaged the clutch. It sounds like something (presume the throwout bearing on the clutch fingers) spinning down to a stable speed. If I disengage the clutch, as I release I hear a chirp, (sounds like the TO bearing coming off the fingers) I suspected the throwout bearing obviously, so removed the box, and swapped back in the OLD TO bearing (which was in much better condition). I also bled the hydraulic clutch as I suspect that was not throwing as far as it should. Still not dice - the sound is not as bad but still there. When I had the box out, I checked the differences between old and replacement, and the TO yoke and bearing all seem the same. The gearbox input shaft seems very similar but I did notice about 5 or 10 mm difference in the distance of end of the shaft to the box mating face (the replacement box is a tad shorter). Does any of this add up to anyone?
