Default Clutch

The clutch pedal is really easy to press in aND it won't go into to gear without extreme force and when I try and put it into reverse all it does is grind any ideas on what it is?

Yes, clutch is not disengaging completely. Have you checked the fluid level?

I addition to likely being low on clutch fluid, you might also have some bad/failing parts in your clutch's hydraulic system. But check the fluid first and report back to us.

Yes the fluid is low and that's because it's leaking
