ok so i was pulling in to my driveway and i went to put in in reverse and it grinded really bad, so i thought i just didnt put the clutch in all the way. so i tryed it again and it did the same thing. then i went to put the car in first and it was very hard to get it in. so i pulled over and tryed it again and it wouldnt go into any gear at all. then after a while of sitting and waiting for a tow truck, i wen to try it again and the clutch was all the way on the ground. i pulled it back out with my hand and then pushed it back in and it stayed to the floor... any ideas of what could be happening??

sounds like its run out of fluid. check the reservior and fill it up

Check your clutch slave cylinder, my guess is that it sprung a leak.

so the res is maxed yet the pedal drops and don't return!

sounds like clutch fork busted or somethin check slave cylinder as stated above. maybe the seal has gone on master cylinder piston?

all i can say is investigate

You may have broken your clutch disc, or a spring could have popped out.

That happened to me twice.
