Cant get car into gear
Had my C7 for 2 months, was not able to use it the last month, went today to use it it wont go into gear, I have the m7, when i try and force it a little the car creeps forward , when i try reverse it creeps back, no grinding noise or anything, no puddles on the floor, Ive been trying everything I can think of for an hour,turn car off and restart, pump the clutch alot still nothing car only has 300 miles and is stored inside, any thoughts?? hate to have to flatbed it an hour to my dealer

Do you have fluid in the clutch reservoir? Sounds like the slave is mad or worse, the master cylinder.

Sounds like the clutch is sticking after sitting for awhile...This is pretty normal on other cars actually.
Kinda like your brakes after washing the car and not moving it..
Put on your parking brake, put the Car in first, depress the clutch and start the car. This will break it loose. Not a big deal

Unlikely this is a long term issue... YOu just need to get the clutch/flywheel burnished so it operates as it should..
