Moved car, now wont go into gear

After sitting for 6 months, I moved my car today, and went I went to move it back, it won't shift into ANY gear while running. If I turn the car off, it shifts into gear. If I try to start it in gear with the clutch in, it lurches forward as if the clutch pedal is out. Any suggestions guys?

check your hydraulic lines/system for the clutch - it sounds like its not disengaging
it may have a small leak or something......

When you push the pedal down have someone watch the clutch rod to see if it's moving the fork.

You made sure the clutch line isn't punctured or anything when checking the MC right? My car did this exactly when the clutch line had a leak in it.

Just went outside and checked, and the clutch rod is moving the fork, and the lines arent leaking. Does this narrow it down to the pressure plate.

Guess I might as well buy a complete clutch kit and flywheel since my car has 78K on it. Which ones do you guys recommend that would stand up to 250-400WHP? (Room for expansion)

I'd have to say pressure plate too at this point...

Make sure you check the pivot point for the fork arm while you're in there for wear...
