Clutch gone?

[planetmf]

Can anyone confirm this? Pulled up to guard shack at work, clutch pedal seemed a little funny, went to pull away and couldn't get the car into gear. Had to push it off to the side, shut it off, put it in gear, start it, and drive it to the parking lot. Can't put into gear with or without the clutch, pedal pretty stiff. It's shot, right? 1992, 3cyl, 5 speed.

Could be one of a few things, not the clutch.
1. Blown input shaft bearing
2. Bent shift linkage
3. Stripped synchro
4. Flywheel came loose
5. Bent input shaft
6. FUBAR'd tranny.
I'd check the shift linkage first. If not, take off the inspection plate on the bottom of the tranny, and see if you can get the flywheel to flop around(checking for bearing play) If there's no play, time to pull the tranny, and see if everything's tight on the flywheel.

Thanks a lot for the list! I had it brought to a shop (it's below zero here) so we'll see what the diagnosis is. I'll let you know, thanks again.
