I have a 98 ford contour SVT manual trans
I start and run it every week on weekends
the clutch has to be pushed in to start the car
last week when I pushed on the clutch the car started but then the clutch pushed in much too easy and did not engage and I could not shift gears

so now i can start the car but the clutch pedal does nothing when I push it in
any thoughts?
thanks!
