For the record, I had the clutch replaced in my '91(na) a few months ago. Since then it made a 'grinding' type noise, sounded like the throw out bearing. Within the last week it has been doing something different. If the car is running and I press then clutch in, it makes a kinda of 'scraping' noise. Like something broke and is bouncing around. I haven't driven the car with it like this, but today I decide to try it out. I got down the street and stopped, I could not get it into gear(it is now stuck in neutral). Any clues? Thanks in advance for any help.

Your clutch is shot somehow. Most likely your pilot bearing has bit the dust which I think results in the symptoms you are having. Honestly, you should've returned to the shop where you had the clutch done at from the getgo as they most likely forgot to lube the bearing.

Zach is right, sounds like the clutch is shot, or the release fork is messed up. You can drive it to the shop with no clutch. Just put it in first with the motor off, engage the starter until the motor catches and your off. Just rev match to get it into 2nd, 3rd, etc. If you get stuck at a light, youll have to shut it off, and then repeat the process. Good luck.

if you can't get it into gear its probley the pilot bearing. Happend to me before.

I had the same exact problem and posted a post saturday night about thinking I blew my clutch (no one responded) and its not. I shelled out my whole tranny. Im dropping it tomorrow so I can get it rebuilt I also had my tranny fluid changed about 3 weeks ago too.
