are you leaking any fluid? Could be your master or slave cylinder!

If the clutch fluid was very low, you may need to bleed the system.
Check for leaks first. IntenseImports is correct; It could be your master or slave cylinder (or both).

Mostly likely not the clutch itself going bad. Just some problem in the hydrolics.

Not going into gear again, it does when engine is off but soon as i start it, it locks up, Doesnt seem to be leaking anywhere, is there any other way to know if its the master cylinder without taking it to a mechanic?

Ok so I took the car into the mechanic, he tightened some bolt or nut under the steering wheel and the car is fine, but the clutch feels different, before i used to push the clutch all the way down then soon as i let it go a little that was the friction point but now i have to release it almost to the top to get it moving....is this how its supposed to be?
