Car wont shift into gear, clutch seems to not be working...HELP?
OK. I go to drive into town the other night, turn on my car and back out of the drivway. I notice that the clutch feels different when I depress it to take the shifter out of reverse. Then, I can't for the life of me get the car into 1st, even though the clutch pedal is to the floor. Suddenly it goes in and I drive off.
Then the fun began. Once driving it was difficult to take the car out of gear. Then, I couldnt get it into gear again. After I tried to leave town and come back home after parking the car and turning it off, I turned on the car while it was in first gear. Something began grinding very loudly and the stick popped out of gear. I was forced to start the car in second and take off that way. On the way home I could not get into 5th and "powershifted" into each gear.
When the car is running and clutch is depressed, after a few seconds an audible clicking/scraping noise comes from the tranny. It goes away when clutch pedal is out.
All fluid is full, no leaks. No real slipping of the clutch. Car does not disengage properly sometimes also. Clutch feels funny, kinda sticky or hesitant to return. I cant drive the car in this condition for fear of breaking something. I need to know whats the problem and what needs to be fixed.
Any help is definately appreciated. thanks.

So you think my problem has to do with the hydralics and not the transmission? Thats what I think too but know little about my car. How do hou bleed the lines for air bubbles?

umm i might have that problem but my friend told me to find the container where they hold the clutch fluid ..... then tell ur friend to press the clutch in ..... if u see bubbles then u have to bleed the line..... ill ask my friends how to in a sec..... but for now check if u have any bubbles.
