yes im sorry to tell you that the trans is ruined.....







syke! sorry..couldnt resist

its not a big deal at all.
your clutch has worn and or the cable has stretched.
if you have the stock quadrant just pull up on the clutch pedal with your foot, it'll adjust.
if you have aftermarket..well then you obviously know what to do, adjust it.

Put your rear on jack stands. Start the car, push the clutch in all the way and put it into 1st. If the wheels spin, your clutch is not disenguaging.
