You may have the Pivot ball has broken through the Clutch Release Arm.
It may not be the Clutch Master Cylinder, or the Clutch Slave Cylinder, or that the Clutch Master Cylinder has no hydraulic fluid in it.

You have a Hydraulic Clutch.
When you press on the clutch pedal, it pushes against a piston in the Clutch Master Cylinder.

(There is a rod that goes from the clutch pedal arm, to the piston of the clutch master cylinder. Goes through the firewall under your dash)

The clutch master cylinder piston, pushes hydraulic fluid down through a metal line. (Tube)
[The Clutch Master Cylinder has a small reservoir on top, with hydraulic fluid in it]

The hydraulic fluid going through the line, reaches the Clutch Slave Cylinder.

The Clutch Slave Cylinder also has a piston in it, and the piston pushes against a small metal rod.
The rod pushes against one end of the Clutch Release Arm.

The Clutch Release Arm is connected to a Pivot post, that has a ball like shape on it.
(It's connected in the middle of the Clutch Release Arm. The arm moves like a see-saw on a playground)

The end of the Clutch Release Arm pushes against a Throw-out Bearing.
The Throw-out Bearing pushes against 'fingers' of the Pressure Plate.

[This makes the round thick plate in the Pressure Plate move away from the Clutch Disc. The Clutch Disc is no longer pressed up against the Flywheel, and stops spinning.

[To illustrate further,

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/clutch.htm ]

I believe the Pivot post has broken through the Clutch Release Arm.

You may have a faulty clutch master cylinder or faulty clutch slave cylinder- leaking clutch fluid. most of the time both are replaced at the same time which should be recomended by your mechanic, the bolts to the master cylinder are very hard to get to and require the right tool.
you should be able to move car forward by selecting 1st then cranking engine till it starts, gear changes while driving are hard but not impossible. i recommend a tow truck to a local repairer.

2001 Dodge Magnum 1500 with 3.9 v-6, 5 speed manual transmission won't come out of reverse after replacing the clutch, pressure plate and the throw out bearing..

magnum? a RAM 1500 pickup, i guess magnum is engine jargon?
well it is not really stuck in reverse (well unless is. blush)
but 99%^ of the time that means the clutch is 100% dead.
learn this trick
have a buddy wiggle the truck on say flat garage floor, (no brakes set)
jug it forward and reverse the whole car and you wiggle the shift lever to N
see it does N.
the box has hard cut gears and synchro dogs. and if under pressure huge
the shifter level sticks. all manuals do that, with a dead clutch.
can do it.
do not gorrilla the shift lever or wreck the gear dog forks inside. box.
fix the clutch.

the clutch actuator is dead,. never replace any clutch first
gee my 4wd is 15 hard hours labor to that and I never do , unless MUST/
the best plan on any 22 year old car/clutch is a
new master cylinder and slave kit. first
and learn now to bleed, clutch lines, that are a horror to do .
ok? the fluid in the lines run up/down verically
and the air bubble float up,. making bleeding super hard and confusing to many
. there are tools that make this easy , Pressure bleeding kits.

we make sure this is working first. 100% full stroke or the clutch is useless.
and locked up fully engaged.
at the least it must be bled fully. off all air.

Check the fluid level in you slave cylinder. If the fluid is low or there is air in the system it can cause hard shifting. If everything is ok it is problably the syncros.

Clutch disk or pressure plate or both are worn out, and I would replace the throw out bearing. You can buy a kit at autozone or kragen that has everything all together 100-200 dollars.

I have a 97 GMC Sierra 4x4 1500 automatic transmission and it won't shift into reverse it does fine in all other gears. My dad said he looked at it and one of the bands is stretched out, but i asked the...

There is no band for reverse in this transmission and there is no shift solenoid function in reverse.There are a couple things that can cause a no reverse problem.#1 problem with the reverse input clutches such as burned or damaged clutches and/or leaking drum.#2The other most common problem is a stripped reaction shell although you usually loose 2nd and 4th gear when that happens.If you have good neutral,all 4 forward gears and the transmission is full of fluid then I would say that the bearing between the input drum and reverse input drum has failed and there are pieces of bearing stuck in the reverse drum and keeping the clutches from applying.No simple fix here and dont waste your money on fluid and filter or a shift solenoid.Time for an overhaul.Let me know if I can help.

My '99 Silverado 1500 Z71 has been an awesome dependable truck with over 225000 miles. But we've suddenly lost the reverse gear. The drive gears work fine & the tranny fluid is fine so what would cause...

No reverse, here are few things you can try before needing to take it to a tranny shop. The 4l60e trans is a fully electronic trans. And being so the problem could be as simle as the reverse shift solenoid has shortted out. Along that same line the reverse valve could be stuck and or the little screen that is attatched to the mid plat could be clogged and in order fix this problemyou need to drop out the valve boby and for the most part rebuild the reverse circute.

Now for the hard stuff. Other problems you could look at.
imput housing assembly - 3-4 apply ring stuck in applied position.
- forward clutch not releasing
- turbine shaft seals missing,cut or damaged.

manual linkage - not adjusted

oil pump assembly - retainer and ball assembly missing or damaged.
- stator shaft seal rings or ring grooves damaged.
- stator shaft sleeve scored or damaged.
- revers boost valve stuck, damaged or misassembled.
- cup plug missing.
- restricted oil passage.
- faces not flat.
- converter clutch apply valve stuck.

valve body assembly - 2-3 shift valve stuck.
- manual linkage not adjusted.
- spacer plate and gaskets incorrect, misposition or damaged.

reverse input clutch - clutch plate worn.
- reverse input houeing and drum assembly cracked at weld.
- clutch plate retaining ring out of groove.
- return spring asembly retaining ring out of groove.
- piston deformed or dished.
- seals cut or damaged.
- retainer and ball assembly not sealing.
- restricted apply passage.

lo and reverse clutch - clutch plates worn.
- clutch plate retaining ring mispositioned.
- porosity in piston.
- seals damaged.
- return spring assembly retaining ring mispositioned.
- restricted apply passage.

case - cover plate gasket missing or damaged.
- cover plate not torgued correctly.
- porosity.

now thhis came from my 4l60 service book.
hope this helps
