Default my car wont shift ):

so idk whats wrong with my car . it wont shift into gears and I've googled everything I could to try and figure out what's the problem but Google can be rather misleading sometimes ... anyway , my car won't shift into gears while the car is on . the first time the issue occurred was when I went to go turn on the car and it jolted and then turned off . I didn't know what was going on so I tried turning the car back on and that's when I noticed it wouldn't go into any of the gears .
I have a 95 honda civic ex with a manual transmission . that's basically all the information I can give so if anyone can help out that would be greatly appreciated !

Check that the clutch slave cylinder piston is moving in and out. You should be able to feel the end of the release bearing fork move while someone else presses your clutch pedal in and out (it is covered by a rubber boot on the front of the transaxle).

yeahh , now that youve mentioned it , that's actually the first thing I checked when I checked under the hood . took the rubber boot off and then everything was moving fine . and I also replaced the master and slave cylinder under 1400 miles ago . the clutch was moving fine . I checked the fluids , everything was fine .
ughh this is giving me a headache hahaa =/

You likely have a broken clutch disc and/or pressure plate that won't disengage. You'll have to drop the transaxle to know definitively. If you drop the transaxle report back with whatever you find.

most likely a PP not a clutch BUT if it is a PP then i recommend chancing rear main seal, PP, throw out bearing, clutch while your there and have the stuff apart

Clutch disc probably spit a spring if the hydraulic end of it is ok.
