Do you mean that the clutch isn't disengaging? If this is the case check for leaks on the clutch master and slave cylinders.

would that also make it hard to put in gear?

YEah, I had the same problem about 1 month ago, one night while driving, I made a quick turn and noticed when trying to put into third, my clutch pedal was stuck to the ground...I had to slip my foot under the pedal to kick it up, It did it again every time when I would press in the clutch on turns...went home, woke up next day put that baby in first it was hard to put into gear...I heard grinding....but jus pushed into first harder...I got into the middle of a street... I couldnt put into second...my clutch then felt like if had no more pressure in it....=(....anyways I had to replace my Slave Master Cyclinder..and two lines were rusted,..... ...everything back to normal...so yeah prolly the master or slave cyclinders...check it out.... THANK GOD IT MY MOTOR WASN'T WALKING>....
