i already knew how to drive a manual car so i did not stall or grind often in the beginning but this morning when i pushed my clutch pedal down to start the car but it seemed like it had no resistance half way and was somewhat resistant at the last inch or so. but my car started normally and then to my surprise even though my clutch was down all the way my car wouldnt go into reverse! it started making a grinding noise so i try putting it into first and it wouldnt go. it wouldnt go into any gears. whats wrong with my car? does this mean i burnt out my clutch or i need more fluid? i drive a 2000 integra ls 95000

From what you are saying it is probably the slave cylinder for your clutch that is the problem. over time the rubber cup inside the slave gets worn out and starts letting the fluid seep passed and not making the push rod go out as far as it should to disengauge the clutch.........if the master cylinder for the clutch is low then you have to find where the fluid is going to . If you can jack up and supprot your car on jack stands.........get under it on the drivers side and look at the front part of the trans........there will be a small line comine down to the slave cylinder........slide the rubber boot off of the slave on the bottom side and if fluid comes out of it you know where the problem is.

Manual vs automatic (that is only the transmission)a distictly different part than the engine Engines come with a carb(old days) and a starter. Period Otherwise it is a lump of metal. No different than buying a plane("oh, wings cost extra") So the starter goes with the car. What are you gonna do with it without a car? It is not that pretty. That is what I got from the first part of your rant. But it seems the car has a starter in it as I read farther down.. He can bug you for a month of Sundays. Does not matter. HE can't drive standards. It is all his fault. He does not understand what the heck he is doing. Older vehicles and there are many of them still on the road can be started in any gear. So long as the clutch pedal is depressed, except for neutral for at that point the engine and transmission are not engaged so depression of the clutch pedal is not necessary. All legal speigal. This is normal. He is pretty well screwed on his own because he has no one to blame except the person who taught him how to drive standard shift - or he has to blame his dimwittedness.

If it's a hydraulic clutch, then you have a problem with the fluid and should check that first. If it's a mechanical clutch, then it's out of adjustment. Check your owner's manual. The clutch itself is probably okay, but the linkage needs attention.

You said it your self... If you have been hard on your car, and its the stock clutch, chances are, you are going to have to buy a new clutch... But, chances are, it could be just as simple as your fluid being low, or some linkage cables are loose/undone.

Your clutch is not releasing. It may be that if you add some brake fluid to the master cylender for the clutch and pump like crazy that things will clear up.(cheap and easy) It may be that you have air in the lines and will need to bleed the line (cheap and not too difficult), or it may be that you need a new clutch (expensive)

I think you should check your clutch plate & pressure plate...
