Ok I got in my car started it up and realized there was no peddle pressure at all on the clutch I have an act racing clutch. When i went to put the car in gear my clutch wouldnt disengage so i couldnt put my car in gear to drive. Also before this happend i would grind going into 3rd gear when shifting past 4000 rpm.
Does anybody know what the problem could be.
Thanks
Bryan

sounds like time for a new tranny.check your clutch cable and your release bearing also.

Just curious why you think his tranny is bad when he has no clutch pedal pressure?
I am not familiar with the design of that clutch but that is exactly how mine acted when one of the springs broke in the center of my clutch essentially locking the clutch engaged.

go check the fluid level for the clutch. I bet there is nothing there or if not I bet its either the master or slave cylinder check around them for leaks of the clutch level is completely full..... make sure you check the right resovar(SP?)

well i dropped my car off yesterday and had my mechanic look at it and it ended up being the slave cylinder. So it was 150 bucks to get it done but my car was back in a couple of hours.
Thanks for all of the input.
