"it"... referring to the car? Do we understand then that you've never driven this Fiero, that it's never had an operational clutch while you've owned it? Getting the full picture on this situation is like pulling teeth!

I found if I move the lever too far back, the TO bearing gets crooked in the shift arm lever thingie and doesnt want to retract
Dunno if that helps but now you know what the innards look like

Thank you so much, this was what I was asking for, I can clearly see my lever is indeed all the way to the passenger side stuck in the clutch engaged position. It would be plausible it may have gotten stuck being hyperextended, but honestly who the heck knows lol.
Thank you for your time again sir.[This message has been edited by RKZJ (edited 01-02-2025).]

The car has not had a working clutch since I purchased it. It has sat for some time, I observed a leak at the coupling between the braided and hardline section,
ordered the repair kit and a new slave. I first installed the repair kit, bled it with the old slave and observed 0 travel and the piston at full extension. The slave came in, I vac bled the system after installing it and same thing.
Should be some better clarity for you.
Taking a look at the pictures posted by the other member, it does appear the lever is locked in full extension, actually a little past it, so at my next availability I'll visually inspect it for cracks at the connection point to the pivot shaft and probably hit it with a little heat to see if that gets it going.
Thanks for your help.

Youre probably gonna have to drop the cradle and get it apart to see whats going on. In the first pic it looks like someones used a lever to try and push the arm back. I see the foil wrapping dented. Its not hard to pull the cradle, then again I do it often lol.

From my searching that does appear to be the direction to proceed. The plan was to swap this anyhow, I've been meaning to build one of these for 25 years, and seeing the the transmission options are still what they are, I'll be searching more lol.
Thanks for your help shemdogg. Off to Copart to get hosed on a crashed car with no LSD looks like
