My transmission has worked find since i bought the car(120,000 miles). The problem came very quickly, One day i was able to shift without problems and gradually over one day it got worse and worse. Now i the clutch pedal has no effect at all. I can completely depress the pedal without feeling any back pressure. The clutch has never slipped while in gear in the past and i checked the fluid in the reservoir and it is full. Any Ideas?

For clarification..... Everything works fine except i cannot shift into gears.(except "perfect shift" matching rpms). Some reason pressing the clutch does not disengage trans

if your hydralics work ok then you have either a bent release arm or the clutch is shot. You'll have to look while the clutch is pulled in and see if your slave cylinder is pushing the release arm in . If it is then you probably have a clutch problem. If you can shift the transmission with the engine off and truck stopped, I'd check the clutch, the release bearing may have pushed through the pressure plate.
