Default Re: Can not shift, clutch out?

Have driven many standards over the years, and your problem does not sound like a transmission problem. A broken tranny or synchros would have been grinding and causing noticeable problems for a while.

It sounds like something in the clutch mechanism failed. I'm not familiar enough to say this car has a hydraulic clutch, but if it's out of fluid, it won't move the pressure plate off the flywheel. Or it could be the throw-out bearing. Or it could be a mechanical or material failure in the linkage.
