aight than, i search i just wanted to get a second opinion, iv read that it can be the master cly, or the returning spring or clutch fluid. Its weird though, iwas entering the freeway on 4th gear, i shift to 3rd to enter, and bam my clutch gets stuck and now i cant shift to any gear, its on N. What do you guys think? Clutch fluid is fine, i believe its the returning spring, because i check the pedal and it looks like its not holding on to nothing =/
 
Grab the pedal with your hand and pump it a few times. Your fluid will go down. Right now it's not gone down because there is no pressure to force the fluid out. Your hydraulics are shot. It's either the master or the slave, check both cylinders under their respective rubber boots to see which one it is, but it's always a good idea to replace both at the same time. Your return spring will grab the pedal after it's a few inches off the floor.

What does that say? I am far from perfect, but even I don't type nearly that bad. We are not thugs here and speaking that way makes technical discussion very hard.

If this is only a spring issue you should be able to manually pump the clutch with your hand and get it to disengage the clutch. You may have a spring problem in the master cylinder (depending on what you have on your car).
