so i was just outside of kenosha wi, about 35 miles from my house. i make a right onto hwy 50 headed home give it a little and try to shift into second no dice and the pedal feels funny, turn on my hazards and turn to the left side of the road, i was in the left lane. the pedal doesn't come back all the way up. so i pull it up with my foot. then one of the local boys, kenosha county. asks me was wrong i tell him. the car will not let me shift gear. so i turn it off. then it frees up. i go to start it in 1st, the car moves. this makes me feel a little unsafe about driving it. he radio's a backup unit to block traffic to push it to the right. he leaves i call home. i firgue what the hell give it one more shot. i start it in nertual, then slide it into 1st pedal feels funny but it doesn't move with the clutch pedal to the floor. so i drive it home. all is good it is a 4 lane hwy i baby it not many stop lights. mainly green. i pull off to check on things. i made it worse. so i start it in 1st give it gas to keep it going roll the stop sign, no traffic thank god. then shift up to 5th with no clutch. drive it about 5 miles untill the exit i have on to hwy 12 a 4 lane controled access road. i try to shift into 3rd it yells at me, 4th it yells at me. 5th it is ok with. so i tug along the on ramp in 5th gear which i normal take in 4th or if i am pushing it 3rd. i go 10 more miles then my exit. which is a 2nd gear turn with a yield sigh. no dice. i should have put it into netuarl. i roll to the side of the road 100 ft from a gas station call home. complain to my mom about my day. bang the steering wheel because i don't know how i am going to be able to get the money to fix this. she tells me to try to get it to the gas station. so i start it in 1st give it gas and get it to the gas station. call home again. 15 mins later dad shows up. 30 mins after that my friend that has a tow dolly and a 4 post lift shows up. haul ot back to his place. to check it out. bleeding it had no effect, and the fork moves with the pedal. any thoughts ? and where is a good place to get new parts.

sounds like a leak in the hydrolics. If you turn the car on and then put it in gear and hold the clutch in for a while will it stall? If so this is more than likely the problem, luckily a new MC, line and SC can be had for around $100

it well not let me put it into gear without grinding. and a whole lot of effort. only way to get it into gear is to turn it off. move the shifter and start it back up. then it moves when i turn the key.

check slave cylinder level. if low just put some in and pump the pedal till it gets stiff again. most likley its leaking... time to replace the line or the cylinder or master slave resivoir

The hydraulics are dead, try bleeding it first, but yeah probably need new master and/or slave cylinder.

new master, new slave, and for godsakes, run some new fluid through that system, it will feel nice after that

oh and before at like 6700rpm trying to shift hard resulted in grinding

why did you bleed the brakes if you have a problem with the clutch?. do you mean you bled the clutch. just use dot 3 brake fluid
