2010 Impreza Clutch Issues

Hey, I've just ran into a serious issue with my 2010 manual Impreza hatckback. I was starting on a hill when all of a sudden my car stalled, and the clutch stuck to the floor. Smoke, and a burning smell. I managed to get the car into gear by lifting the clutch pedal and got it home in 1st, trying to shift as little as possible. Now, whenever I press the clutch, the trans has an awful squeaking sound and the RPMs begin to jump around. Once I get the car into gear, there are no other problems. Can anyone tell what the issue is from this info alone, or will I have to drop the trans?

Sounds like it could have broken a pressure plate. At first I thought it ruptured a hydraulic line for the clutch but that wouldn't account for the noises. You're going to have to get it inspected to find out what happened. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Reading online, and I'm thinking its a failed rear main seal, and the squeaking is from oil on the clutch. Its a high mileage car (150k) and I bet the RMS is still the original.

No, seals don't let go suddenly and that would have no effect on the clutch pedal staying down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
