Default A.s.a.p Help A.s.a.p

I posted this in user support like a retard...Anyway i pretty much either burnt my clucth up or whatever to make it do this: bty(When car is off it shifts fine)

When the car is on...I literally have to push with all my might to put it into gear..especially reverse so as soon as that happened i knew it was either A. my clutch or B. The T-56

As i drove it home there was no gear whine or trans failures. It was only a pain in the *** to shift.

How long till my clutch goes out and can this cause transmission problems by driving it like this

Thanx-Matt

Have you checked your clutch master reservoir's fluid? Is it low?
Is the clutch pedal low & spongy? It sounds like a hydraulic problem.Try pumping the pedal & see if it goes in easier.
You might have a bad master or slave.....

sounds hydrolic issue to me too, but could also be a smoked clucth if you just got it hot it coduld do that for a while and be ok when it cools off. Id try pumping it and see if it will go into gear, if that doesnt help its clutch time.

It sounds like the slave isn't pushing the throwout bearing far enough out. I would check the fluid in the resivior and look underneath the car and see if you can see fluid dripping anywhere. You can tell were the fluid has been cause Brake Fluid will remove just about anything off metal, even paint.
