whats wrong and how can i fix itMy car is a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, I was on my way somewhere when slowing down i put my car in neutral and began braking. Going faster than i thought i shifted into first gear at about 40mph. At that moment i felt rattling in both the gear stick and the clutch pedal, i tried to shift again in case it was just a hiccup and my gear stick was stuck in neutral, i couldn't switch into any gears.
Now when my car is off is the only time i can move the gear stick into the gear slots. And i also lost alot of pressure in the clutch pedal but it does not stick to the floor it returns to normal position after a moment or so.

The transmission will have to be removed and inspected internally after making sure the clutch didn't fail.
