   Silly question but what about the handbrake ??? It could be stuck, or the brakes have seized if you havent driven for a while.

   Your clutch is dead. Get your vehicle to a local transmission shop and have your clucth assembly and flywheel replaced. Depending on the vehicle expect a $750 to $2000 charge for this service.

   Come on people. Think before you answer. If the clutch was bad, he couldn’t shift into any gear. The clutch doesn’t fail and not be engaged!

   Problem has to be transmission or axle. You didn’t give a year make or model, so I can’t be more specific. But get the tow truck to take it in to your mechanic, he will get more specific for you. Good luck.

   Your clutch isn’t engaging, plates are probably extremely worn. Didn’t you notice a problem before this (now) failure? You’ll need to take it to a garage to have it repaired or replaced..

    Your clutch seems to be jammed in the disengaged position. Check clutch pedal isn’t jammed down. With the engine OFF, try pulling it up to free it and check the linkage between pedal and operating lever on engine end of gearbox too - or hydraulic clutch operating system if appropriate. If successful, check car hasn’t been left in gear before starting engine!

    The clutch should be engaged under (multiple) spring pressure when the pedal isn’t being pressed so a jammed linkage is more likely to be the cause than a failed clutch unit (and cheaper/easier to fix).

    Hope this gets you mobile again!

    That’s sounds expensive, new clutch, pressure plate and thrust bearing, plus labour

    Some ware You have a break in the drive. Some possibility’s IE the centre of your clutch plate could be broken where the first motion shaft from the gearbox goes through it. The spline on one of your drive shafts may have stripped or one of the C V joints broken or something has stopped your clutch pressure plate returning when you put your foot on it

    There are a few possible causes of this. These are not in order of likelihood. First one is that the pressure plate in the clutch has broken. I know somebody who launched his car away from a set of traffic lights and managed to rip the centre out of the pressure plate! The second one is that the clutch cable has seized, holding the friction plates apart.The third one is that the thrust bearing has seized on the gearbox input shaft with the clutch disengaged (common on Carltons). The fourth one is that the friction plates are worn down to the rivets. The fifth one concerns hydraulic clutches in that the pressure regulator or master cylinder may be faulty causing the clutch to be permanently disengaged.

    something wrong with the clutch. Do be careful as it may suddenly engage and run you down
