Q: Car will not move in any gear.

asked by on November 18, 2016

I was driving felt no problem in the clutch or anything. Than when I came up to a stop sign I tried stopping and the clutch was non existent and stuck to the floor I pulled it up with my foot and it kinda worked but really really soft. I was 15 minutes from home so I decided to just keep driving then when I came to a stop I made my turn and a little after the turn it was like the clutch was partially touch ing becuase I was barely moving if I kept it around 2500-3000 rpm but any higher it slowed down then it stopped moving in general.

My car has 178000 miles.
