Put the Trans in park then adjust the cable so the shifter is in park. Then shift to nuetral and make sure the Trans is also in nuetral. Adjust as necessary. Using park and nuetral as alignment points should result in the shift linkage being in the correct position for all gears.
Your shift linkage at the transmission an the shifter has come loose.
check under the car and if not there remove the shift boot or console and check there.
You should just be able to hook it back up may need a new nut or cotter pin.
Make sure you move everything to neutral position when putting it back together.
Sounds like your clutch needs replacing. Clutch discs consist of the same sort of material as brake pads. After so much friction and heat they deteriorate quite quickly. If your inclined and have a good assortment of tools you can probably replace the clutch yourself. However this means removal of the transmission so the proper jacks and such are something you should have for safety. The transmission is quite heavy and without the right equipment it could be dangerous.
Yes it is time to install a new clutch kit(clutch disc,pressure plate ,throw out bearing and pilot bearing)also have the flywheel resurfaced.The disc has gotten too thin to be clamped by the pressure plate.Best if you replace everything at once with new parts,avoid rebuilt parts.Good luck!
Sounds like to me you may need to have the nuetral safety switch adjusted or replaced. This switch will allow a vehicle to start only if the gear shifter is in the park or nuetral position if it starts in any other gear it may need to be adjusted or replaced hope this helps you.
I dont quite understand what you mean . The clutch releases you transmission from the engine to allow shifting.
If you mean it wont release maybe its not the clutch maybe its the slave cylinder which pushes it or the master cylinder which is connected to the pedal. If its a cable maybe the cable is out of adjustment.
I am not to sure but if you have a cable clutch instead of a hydrolic one you can put your car in first gear or nuetral (can't remember exactly ), (not running and on flat level ground) and pull up towards you on the clutch pedal this might take up the slack in the cable. This worked on my 2002 mustang there is a thing called a quadrant that clicks and locks the free play in the stretched cable. Just a suggestion and it's free so what the heck ??? I am not sure if this applies to what is accually wrong with your clutch so it is only a helpfull hint.
sounds like your clutch needs adjusting . There should be adjustments on the top or bottom of cable. If adjustment is ok check clutch pedal points the brackets that support it sometimes crack if the cable gets stiff
