Engine running or engine off?

If the engine is off and you can't get it in to any gear, you have serious problems.

If the engine is running, then the clutch isn't disengaging. That's a hydraulics / clutch throwout issue. How's the pedal feel?

master cylinder would be my guess, I had the same problem...only mine went out when I was driving. My clutch exploded and took out the cylinders, pressure plate, and flywheel.

It'd be under $200 for a master cylinder. They're not too bad to install, just takes a little time and patience. But it is definitely one end or the other...

Several of our sponsors sell them. I'd probably stick with a GM one. You might hit up KJ@SDPC (Kris) to see how much he sells 'em for.
