Good chance that the line has a hole in it and you lost fluid. I had the same problem when a rock or possibly someone improperly jacked the car up and fractured the clutch line. The line is aluminum with a blue plastic type coating on it. Replaced mine in my garage for $63.00 plus fluid. Its a pretty simple fix in my opinion.

I just read your post again and I may have misunderstood. So you can change gears while its running and if the clutch would release you think the car would move?

It's usually my GAS pedal that's stuck to the floor.

Hi,

Your description isn't very thorough. Do you have a leak? Is the underside of your car wet or sprayed with hydraulic fluid? Can you put the car in gear? With the engine On? Off? What's the fluid level in the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir in the front trunk? At or Below the FULL line? If below, by how much?

Personally, I don't think you have a burst Hydraulic line. From your description so far, I'd say that something mechanical broke in the clutch itself, or you have a failed Master Cylinder.

But, I'm not certain of anything since your description is so lacking. Give us more information please...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
