on March 13, 2018

ok so I litterally bought this car ystererday and I already have problems. first I would go into first gear and start driving. after that I would press the clutch and go into 2nd gear but it didn't stick and went into nuetral. I then tried to skip it and it worked. I went from 1 to 3 and tried to go to 4 but I wouldn't stick and went into neutral..so what I ended up doing to get home was hitting high rpms till I got home (3000-5000). it seems like 2 4 and 6 gears won't go when shifting( the bottom gears). when the car is stopped I can go from 1st and then to 2nd without moving the car but I can't do it when the car is moving. ALSO later that day the clutch started sticking to ground and will not come up unless I bring it up with my hand.... I am really stressed and I need help please
