SHIFTING PROBLEM

Need some advice. I have a 94 gt with about 150,000 miles on it . I went out
yesterday to pick up some coffee from burger king. When I went to leave, I
couldn't shift my car into 1st gear. I must have sat at the drive through
window for 5 minutes trying to get it into gear. Any and all advise is
greatly appreciated.

Your clutch is toast.

If it happens again, turn off the engine, shift to 1st, start engine &
limp to the shop.

Possibly the clutch cable is worn & stretched. Do you have any aftermarket
clutch parts? Adjustable clutch cable w/ quadrant? Could need adjusting. If
you don't... then yes.. your clutch is likely toast.

Thanks again. I just replaced ( had someone to do it ) the clutch 2 1/2
years ago in Hawaii. I think when the guy did the job, he did not do the
throw out bearing. There were some kind of squick when the car was in
neutral idling. That is what I was told it was.

Ah... with the clutch not pressed & the car in neutral.. if you hear that
constant squeak/squeal... likely throw-out bearing.
