Default Clutch problem

I need help in figuring out whats wrong with my car. My car was running fine and shifting was fine until today. It grinds in almost every gear and it really hard to put it in first and second. I dont know if I fucked up my clutch or my tranny is messed up. By the way its a gsr tranny. Let me know please.

before checking the hard shyt, check out your clutch fluid to see if its low, if it is u probly have a leak at ur clutch master cylinder. If its not low its probly a bad TO bearing, or worn out clutch.

Yeah the first thing I checked was the clutch fluid. I hope its the clutch and not the tranny. Any other suggestions?

aiight does it do it all the time or just when it warms up? Check the MTF(not the clutch fluid, the gear oil in the tranny to lube ur syncros) to see if that is low, if it was real low try to flush and fill and pray that it didnt fuk anything up, but if thats fine and ur sure that u dont have a manual clutch fluid leak its more than likely just a fuked up TO bearing or worn down clutch.

yeah it sounds like clutch engagement problem check fluid of course then check for leaks on the maser cylinder. look on the inside of the car under the dash and also check the slave...
if you are still driving this car. you can rev it up then when the rpm's are dropping you should be able to slide it into gear any gear even with out the clutch

Thanx guys. I guess I have to shop around for a clutch now. Any suggestions on what clutch to get. I want something that will hold up to 300 hp.

PM da_hustler. he sells some clutch specialties clutches. very nice units. i've got one in my car, i know judge does too. just talk to him about how you are going to have the car setup and he'll probably be able to help you pick the clutch right for you.
