Q: Clutch problem 1999 Toyota Camry

asked by on February 07, 2017

I have no pressure when pressing the clutch pedal. It sinks to the floor. When it is pressed a loud squeeling sound is heard. When it is not pressed the same squeeking is heard though not as loudly. The car does turn on although it will not shift into any gear.

My car has 163000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
