Well it happened the other day, I was out playing in the snow with my AWD 1g. On my way home about a mile from my house clutch would not grab until I hit 6.4k rpm and I just lost it completely after that last grab and push to 5mph, rolled to the side of the street and turned her off. Checked under the hood and by the driver side firewall for any leaks from master or slave and found nothing, had a buddy come out and look at shifter cables under the hood and they moved perfect. With car off manually put it in 2nd and turned it on and still nothing. I can go 1st through reverse with the car on and my foot off the clutch and nothing happens, she wont move or die. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Yes I have used the search and can't find a single thing, closest thing I found was a post from 03 and was not the same problem. The car is essentially 100% stock 107xxx miles, full 3'' exhaust and boost guage installed and that's it. I'm just hoping someone could point me in the right direction, or a direction at all haha.
 
Clutch and/or viscous coupling are shot.

Was expecting and hoping it would be clutch related, I'm going to see how much it costs to trailer to a shop tomorrow to get a real understanding of what exactly is wrong with it. I've heard some things on the viscous, mind explaining why you think that while I look into it further?

Reading further into the viscous when I bought the car it had mis-matched tires/wheels, I know thats terrible for AWD,but had no idea about the VC, so I found new wheels immediately, I'm not sure how long the car was running on the mis-matched sizes before I got her.
