Re: [T3] Invasion

<x-flowed>It's not going to be the syncros.  If the pedal still feels OK under 
your foot, then it's almost certainly a problem of the clutch not 
disengaging.  This will be caused by either the release bearing forks 
cracking on the shaft (quite common), or a problem with the release fork 
shaft or the clutch itself.   If the pedal feels strange, it could be 
the cable has stretched because it's breaking and is hanging on by a 
thread so not pulling hard enough to disengage the clutch,   or the 
release bearing forks cracked as above.  If the cable is completely 
broken the pedal obviously goes floppy with little or no spring back. 
Can you relate to any of these?
