No issues to date with the clutch. I leave my parking lot and shift from first to second arrive at light, place car in neutral, light turns green, i press the clutch in and can't get my car into any gears. when i try putting into reverse i hear a terrible grinding sound.

I turn the car off. Engage clutch and am able to put into any gear (while car is off). Turn car while its in first. I'm able to roll out press clutch in, it has a hard time going out of first into neutral.

So how screwed is this clutch???

Default I've also heard that if you put it in 4th, and let the clutch out
and it doesn't stall, it's def the clutch. I'm gonna try it in a few..

So if the clutch engages at the very top of the pedal, my clutch is about toast?
