Asked on October 4, 2012

On my way home from work the other night, my car all of sudden wouldn't shift into gear. I noticed about a week prior that my clutch was getting soft

I have never had the clutch replaced, so does this have anything to do with it?

It was, but now I can't get it into any gear. I have it sitting in my parking lot right now in neutral.

That sounds like a clutch not releasing does the clutch pedal have pressure all the way down to the floor?

The clutch will go all the way down to the floor, but there is absolutely no pressure to the clutch what so ever :(

Sounds like the clutch hydraulics have failed so not as bad as the clutch failing repair wise.
