Default Won't go into gear, clutch is free and limp...

1997 accord, SOHC

The clutch point seems gone. Pushing the clutch in all the way and trying to put it in gear stops before it'll go into gear, like the clutch isnt pushed at all. hard resistance.

happened when temperatures went sub-zero 2 days ago.

Where can you check transmission fluid?

Any suggestions? thx alot

Is this problem still present? It could very well be a transmission problem. Do any of the gears work? If not then they clutch may be done.

If the pedal is "free and limp" then I'd first check the pedal attachment at the master cylinder push rod. If that's OK then I'd check fluid level in the reseviour. If that's empty then you have air in the hydraulic system so it can't operate the clutch, bleed the hydraulics. If the reseviour does have fluid you may still have air in the hydraulics, and I'd bleed the system before I started to blame the clutch itself.
