Default Can't get into gear.

I can't get into gear when my car is on. It's as if my clutch will not engage/grab. When I start my car in gear, it flies and then stalls. Fluid levels are good, I have bled my clutch, tranny fluid level is good. What could be my problem? clutch? engagement point? transmission? Thanks.

Pressure plate or clutch plate springs fallen out.

No need to examine it, just replace it.

I bled my clutch once again today and could get into gear once again but the downside is I think I am getting a lot of air. I am constantly consuming air to the point where my pedal feels like it has a lot of freeplay. My engagement is also as high as ever, i've tried adjusting it, but the engagement just won't go down. What is my problem now?

sounds like you need either a new clutch slave cylinder or master cylinder then if you keep getting air in constantly...

Check your master and slave clutch cylinder for leaks.

sometimes the master or the slave can leak internally and you wouldn't be able to see them... bleeding a system shouldn't take but a good 3-5 times to acheive pedal pressure and that should be sufficient for clutch engagement/disengagement... I've had a clutch disc go bad on me and I couldn't shift either, but it also made alot of noise... hope that helps bro
