Doesnt go into gear...Clutch, Tranny or other??

Ok, so i read through previous threads before posting this and didnt see any similar issues.

Launched the car last night and everything felt fine on the way home. This morning im driving to class and halfway there im at a dead stop and cant get it into 1st. Take it out of second to get out of the intersection and get to my parking spot, park it and go to class. Back from class and now i cant get it into any gear. Goes through all gears normally when car is off, but none when its running. I started the car in first and held the clutch to the floor and it was moving forward.

The car has new slave and master with less than 1000 miles. Theres plenty of fluid and the car ran normally until this. The tranny has been tough shifting when i pound on it forever, so i dunno whats up. Im wanna know if its the clutch, tranny, both, or something else.

Thanks.

Clutch issue. Have someone watch and make sure the fork is moving when you depress the clutch pedal. If its moving fine then something is wrong with your actual clutch.

Your clutch is not releasing all the way, which could be caused by a number of things like air in the line, master or slave leaking, broken pressure plate, broken shift fork, or the clutch mechanisim in the car itself. If its a 1g, they are known for the clutch pedal mechanisim wearing out, its adjustable, but if its like mine, its too worn out, the threaded shaft on the master is not even long enough to take up the slack in the pedal.

Probably the clutch has something wedged in there. When mine went bad a piece of the plate from around one of the springs broke off & wedged it between the plates & I had the same issue.

What brand clutch? Is there noise coming from the clutch area with the car running?

Its an ACT 2600.

I had two important papers due yesterday and today, so i havnt been able to check anything yet, but today between classes ill go check it out.

But let me get this right
1) Make sure clutch fork is getting movement
2) Make sure no fluid is leaking
3) Check for noise coming from the tranny with the car running
4) ??? If theres anything else you can think of please let me know.
