Check each wheel that it moves freely.

If all are free its possible your clutch has locked up somehow.

The car cranks and starts? if the tranny was locked up the wheels shouldn't spin. If the clutch was locked up then when you tried to start the car it should try to turn the tranny. Did it make any noise?

Take out the inspection plate so u can see the flywheel and see if there is any thing jamming it up and try to turn the motor by hand to ensure all the bolts and thing on the clutch are in working order ... Mine was loose and I could wiggle the flywheel and I saw a couple bolts jammed between the bell housing and the flywheel

It might not be a complete lockup. Just slightly locking it up when the clutch is engaged.

If they move freely then nothing is locked up. Its possible the pressure plate simply gave out. Explain exactly what happens when you start the car, starting with when you start to let off the clutch. Give all scenarios and be detailed, neutral, in gear, giving it gas.... Etc etc

When its in neutral it dies and its and a little hard to shift. When i try to take off it just revs up the engine and goes nowhere its really frustrating

Also when letting the cluth out right before the car dies it makes some like light grinding noises sounds like in the clutch so its most likely my clutch i hope and not my tranny
