Something happened to either my clutch and/or transmission about a hour ago.Motor is from a 1996 Nissan 240sx. The engine is all stock except for exhaust and intake.

Here's the story:

I backed out of my parking spot everything as normal. I drove through the apartment in first gear with no problems. As I pull out of the apartment in first gear I drive off and shift to second and it felt like it didnt quite get into gear. I disengage the clutch and slide it back into second and still nothing.

So here is how it sits now:The shifter can move around, feels like it is going in and out of gear, don't know for sure, without using the clutch. I start the car, disengage the clutch, put it into gear, let the clutch out, and nothing...

The clutch still has strong pedal pressure and nothing fell off and I did not see any fluid that dripped out except for a couple drops that dropped inside on the floor by the pedal.

Its not the hydraulic clutch hose, I just replaced that.

Anyone have any idea? I was thinking it is transmission related and not clutch related since the pedal still maintains pressure, but I am not a clutch expert.

Thanks in advance...

Since you replaced the clutch hose, did you bleed the hydraulic system; if not, that could be your problem.
