I did post another question with more details. I left out that it usually grinds into third and clunks when turning sometimes as well.

Looks like a SL1 if the. Front seat does not have a separate head rest that comes off the seat on two metal posts? So does the clutch pedal have pressure going all the way down? Or does it drop some then have pressure?

I will check again later on, I am at work now, but I think there is pressure at beginning then stiffens up as it goes down.

It sounds like the clutch pressure plate or fork has broken. Or the clutch master cylinder is bad, Is the brake fluid low be cause it is the fluid that works the clutch.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken

That one doesn't use fluid from the master cylinder it has its own fluid. If you have pressure from the top of the clutch pedal to the floor the clutch master and slave cylinder are good.
