i was about to go and pay the rent today. phucking car died on me. engine still starts but gear doesn't want to go in and clutch is loose. what is the problem? is there a tranny involve or is this just a clutch?

 

nobody?

 

Check to see if the clutch cable broke...Is there any pressure when you push the clutch in or does it just go right to the floor like there is nothing holding it back

 

it goes right to the floor. car does start but can't shift into any gear. what is the problem?

 

First check to make sure your clutch cable hasn't snapped and is connected to both the transmission and the pedal assembly before you start tearing into the clutch or transmission.

 

how would i check that. please give me a step be step. and the car is parked in front of somebody's house different neighborhood. i haven't check on the car yet.

 

1. Get under the dash and make sure the cable is attached to clutch pedal

2. Go into the engine bay and make sure the cable is attached to the trans. The cable attaches to a black arm right near the battery

3. Have a friend push the clutch pedal in and watch the black arm. If the cable pulls the arm then the cable is fine and it is something inside the trans

 

which side of dash? passenger side or driver side.

Driver side where the pedal is

 

i will write this down and i will go out and check on ma EF. i hope the car is still in one piece.

what if everything is in tact? what would be the problem?
i called one of the local shop for exedy organic clutch. he quoted me $85 out the door. is that good?

 

If its not the cable, the clutch plate won't be the problem. It would be related to the linkage arm or the release arm. Not to be mean, but you really don't know much about cars do you? This is some pretty basic stuff man.

i'm glad you asked me that. unfortunately i don't know about cars from the whole bottom roots. if i did, i wouldn't come here and waste my time.
