Last night I'm driving home and I shift into 3rd and something in my clutch went, I'm guessing maybe some sort of lines. The clutch goes all the way down to the floor with very little resistance. I can't get into any gears. At least my cars in a Church parking lot, I figure its safe there. Anyone ever have this happen to them??

If a line or connection went, I'd think you would be dripping hydraulic fluid? Maybe the throw-out bearing died? Not like I'm an expert on clutches.
Still, even if the clutch is locked, you should be able to shift with the engine off.

I was thinking of my old Stang. Didn't know how the pedal fed the tranny on Tours.

I noticed that you have a B&M Shifter. Your welds probably went Kabooi!

Shifter feels normal theres a little resistance in the pedal but not a lot. Car still starts when i push the clutch in but won't go in gear with the clutch and I didn't try forcing it into gear or putting into gear with the engine off. Its not the welds in the shifter either. I've had that happen before and the shifter flops back and forth this all has to do with the clutch, everything else seems fine. Also, I didn't notice any fluids under the car. I'll find out later today as I had the car towed to a trans shop..

Well, I got a call from them and they said "You got some major clutch or hydraulic problems." He told me its going to be $600 to pull the clutch apart and put it back together without knowing what the problem is then just add parts on top of that. I called around and thats about what everyone charges. I guess I'm going to be out a load of money..
