I have been experiencing some difficulty with my car lately. As stated in my topic, I am unable to get my car into gear, when it is running, it started happening yesterday, March 6th, 2004. Whenever I have the car off I can put it into any gear, 1-5 and reverse, with or without the clutch. But when I start the car, I cannot get it to go into any gear, the closest thing is reverse and that just grinds when I get half way in. I dont know if the clutch is gone, because the car still starts, however the clutch pedal is not as springy as before. It just won't go into gear. I also checked the clutch fluid level, and it is fine. The previous owner told me that the clutch cables, were 4000 Km's old aswell as the rebuilt tranny, and the act2600. i have put about 9, 000km on it since i bought it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kyle

clutch is not disengaging....could be a multitude of things....from bent clutch fork, leaky master or slave, worn clutch pedal (likely) if its not welded, incorrectly adjusted master (adj. under dash), or damaged pressure plate.

Any ideas as to where to start? This problem just happened out of no where. As of saturday morning it started, another thing is that when i was driving it on Friday, for no reason it just stalled, i was sitting at a light with the clutch completly in. This happened twice(two separate times) before it stopped going into gear

Thanks for the replies, I thought it might be a hydraulic system problem as well, but I checked the fluid level, and it is fine, and the slave was replaced about a month or two ago, and the master was checked at the same time. I will check again though.
Thanks Again Kyle

Thanks to Everyone who posted, I appreciate it. I just got the car back, it turned to be the clutch master cylinder.
Thanks Kyle
