SOS: MN6 problem
Currently have about 28K original miles on my 2002 coupe, and today I started the car I was unable to get the car into gear at ALL. Also the clutch would stick half way down and not release. I have a call into the dealer for service. Has anyone ever experience this problem?

Hydraulic system for the clutch.
Slave cylinder or master...
Do you see a puddle of fluid under your car? It might be that air got in and they need be bled - or one of the cylinders has a leak.
Happend to my car and I just went ahead and got a whole new clutch put in while they had it apart. Not sure if it'd be worth it @ 28k miles though.

And the clutch stayed half way down. This morning the car would not go into gear. I was not about to play around with it. Have a call into the dealer. First open spot is next Tuesday.

This is beginning to be a common problem. You most likely will need to replace both the slave and master clutch cylinders. While your in there, a new clutch system will save you the headache of having to go back in for that. An opinion based on my own experience.
