Ok, so got my car back after getting swap. Then recently if I tried to shift too fast, then an awful grinding noise came from the gearbox. So I bled the clutch yesterday, adjusted pedal and it was working fine. Today morning, the clutch was on the floor and I had to lift it with my foot, and it's semi-driveable. Anyone know what could be causing it and the solution to fix it?

Please please help! I can't keep missing classes

the trans isnt the problem, its the clutch hydraulics, but if you grind it much more it will turn into the trans problem :p

your leaking clutch fluid somewhere, from either a part of the line, or the slave. or your master cyl might be cooked. bleed the clutch system then pump it and look for leaks. keep adding fluid when it loses it. if you find leaking near the slave cyl, there is a good chance you need a new one.

Well it only grinds if I try to shift quickly, if I do it slowly, then it's ok. Bled it yesterday and added fluid, I don't think there's a leak.

If the pedal is dropping to the floor and you are not losing any fluid it is time to replace the clutch master cylinder.

As far as the problem you are having with shifts, if the clutch is not releasing all the way because of the hydraulic problem it can cause some grinds. If you fix the hydraulic problem and it still does it, it may be the transmission.
