As title says i have no gears. I can freely shift into the gears but nothing happens. Heres the story, I was at a stop sign and i shift into first, as i let the clutch out i hear a thud, and then nothing. the car just rolls. I can shift into the gears but nothing happens. When i push the clutch in there is a nasty grinding noise, it gets worse if i shift it into gear. What do you guys think?
 
Pretty sure your TOB failed catastrophically, or you blew out something in your clutch, more than likely your springs.

Is everything bolted up tight? All the bolts are holding in the trans? Does the transmission move when you push in the clutch (well have a friend push it in)

I'm sure this is clutch/tob related, as issues with the transmission internals usually make noise with the clutch OUT.

So, car on, can you put it in a gear WITHOUT the clutch?

resolved the problem. I have an ACT 4 puck unsprung and the splines in the disc have completely sheared off.

time for a new clutch i guess
 
Heres a normal ACT street disc that i have laying around just for reference
