Heres what happen im driving down the road and the clutch starts getting a little mushy and Im having to rev the engine to get it to go any where when I let the clutch out. Then I let the clutch out and the car doesnt go any where.I dont think the transmission has gone out I think it is just something like the clutch or throwout bearing .now the car sit in my yard and u can crack it and give it gas and let the clutch out and it doesnt go any where and it doesnt jump or go dead when you let the clutch out and not give it any gas.im not pro. so can some one help me out and any info is appeciated.

your clutch disc sounds worn out. you need to get the trans off and inspect it. but before you do make sure the counter shaft key hasent spun see if it will move if you put it an any other gear. if it moves in forth gear you have an internal trans problem.

It wont go anywhere in any gear including reverse. since it is a hydralic clutch think it could be something in the lines or in the clutch master slave cylinder? thanks

I really think its clutch disc. since it wont move at all if it was the hydrolic system it wouldnt disenguage the clutch and you couldnt shift it.

if you can shift gears with the engine running and not have your foot on the clutch your clutch is not locking the engine to the trans.

The clutch pedal and hydrolic system are to disenguage the clutch disc from the flywheel so the trans internals will stop spinning.
