    clutch won't fully disengage

    Hey, i have been having transmission issues.

    First, it started with first and reverse being difficult to get into even with the clutch in. They would pop out of gear and then grind.

    Then occasionally, third and fifth would make a weird tinking sound constantly but if i held the shift lever in a certain spot it would sometimes stop.

    Now the clutch doesn't fully disengage and so it is impossible to get the car in gear from neutral with the engine on. The car also moves when the clutch pushed in. My friend and I tried bleeding the clutch which didn't help so I replaced the slave cylinder and rebled the clutch and it still doesn't work. When I push the pedal to the floor, the throwout bearing makes a growning sound but I can get it in gear.

    Could the issue be the master cylinder, throwout bearing, clutch fork, or just a worn clutch?

    Thanks everyone.

      It had been difficult to get into gear for a while so I changed tranny fluid but didn't tighten the drain plug enough so it leaked a little and didnt notice until I couldn't get the car in gear so I added fluid but then the clutch started acting up. And yes the car is stock.

        With the car off, can you shift normally? Are you able to do a crank-and-launch in first gear? If so, sounds like the mc

          Yeah it goes in gear fine with the car off but even with the clutch pedal in the car moves.
