Default Shifting Problem, PLEASE HELP.

Hey there, I been having problems with shifting it into gear. At first it was alittle tuff getting it into first specially when it was cold. Then it got to the point where i had to pull it or push it with both hand. What it does is that from neutral about half way in its normal then half way i reach a "stuck" point and then i have to slam it and then the last half is easy again. Its just in the middle of the shift. IN ALL GEARS. And the worst part is that last night i went to start it pressed the clutch and it cranked but like if i didnt have the clutch in. It shot alittle foward as if i was in gear. This was the first time it has done this. What can be causing this? is this a tranny issue, shifter, or clutch. Thanx

Check the easy thing first. Your car has a hydraulic clutch, so check to make sure your not low on fluid.

ACTUALLY, as of right now. I have no pressure on my clutch pedal, and CANNOT put it in gear. AT ALL. So im almost sure it has something to do with the clutch. ????????????

I dont know where it is or what its called because my dad did it for me once while i was away. But I think its on the drivers side right by the window. Its under something thow.
