While trying to drive my clutch locks up not able to put in gear. Like it is hitting a rock and cannot move. When I say locking up you cannot push the clutch in at all to put in gear. Brought to a mechanic he saw what it was doing bleed to clutch line, but did not work. Says he does not know what else it could be and gave up. Please help.

The pressure plate or throw out bearing sleeve are jammed up. Either way the transmission will have to be removed to determine the exact failure.

It was. The car is running for about five to ten minutes And warmed up that is when the clutch would lock up after I got it back from the mechanic I drove it around my block a couple times it locked up and it quit running. So now you can push the clutch in it unlocked but now it will not start.
