Wierd clutch

soooo i dog my car...i want to shift into 3rd, clutch in...try and shift... it will not go in, i tried every GEAR not even back into 2nd or even 5th it locks me out...then i keep it in neutral let the clutch out to see whats up, the clutch is like LOOSE as hell. the spring loaded contraption is still there and it seems to be a lot smaller of a distance when i depress it. what really irritates me is that it locks me out of ALL my gears...

It's your clutch fluid. Probably your slave cylinder. Super easy cheap fix. Buy one three bolts to replace it bleed and pump and your on your way.

one of theese problems maybe
Clutch going out, or the springs on the clutch have broke and now freely rotate.
Air in your lines (bleed the line to get it out)

good luck
sounds like a problem i had.
It turned out the clutch disk springs were all broke, and freely rotated around.
bought a new clutch, changed it, never had a problem since.

I would check the clutch hydraulics first; fluid level and then see if the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder is leaking. It's best to replace both if you are going to do one. I've always found that if you only replace one that the other would likely fail soon thereafter. The parts are inexpensive....replace both and ya ain't gotta worry about it anymore. Internetautomart probably has the parts.
