Boston,
I went to my car and the clutch wouldn't pop back up after I started it. I waited a while to let the engine warm up cz it was freezing outside all night. I pumped the clutch til it finally came up. Then when I tried to shift into first, I couldn't. I can't shift into any gear, or reverse. It's like something's blocking it. Can anyone help?
 
Once my mbc fell in between my intercooler pipe off the turbo and the clutch ball thingy on the tranny, if nothing is jammed there it could be *cough*crankwalk, it happened to me a month ago but hope not.
 
You might have a leak somewhere or you somehow might of gotten air in the clutch line. My slave cylinder went out on me one day when I was driving and I couldnt put it in gear. Yea check for leaks and if none found maybe try bleeding ur clutch system. Also check ur fluid level first before you do any of that.
 
I had the same problem after a complete engine rebuild. I thought I screwed something up after putting everything back together. My car wouldnt go into any gears, and I had to turn it off , stick it in first to get it up in the garage further. I replaced the slave and master cylinder, I shimed the ball on the clutch pivot fork with a brass turbo washer and put a new oem clutch kit in. And it still didnt work. After that I bought a new Fidanza Flywheel, didnt help any. So I bought a performace clutch kit( Ram Power-Grip HD Clutch Kit w/6pad street/strip disc, it's a bit agressive but I like it)installed it and BAM, I can shift gears once again. Just need to adjust the pedal height now =(. Hopefully this helps you.
