It also doesn't move. I've been reading that there isn't an adjustment for the clutch pedal. My clutch pedal feels fine it's no sponge in it it's not loose. it's just not moving nor will it turn my car off when I release it. remind you now my car won't move but it goes in every gear.

Good morning,

If it goes into gear and will not move, you need a clutch. It is worn out and needs to be replaced.

I attached a YouTube video of replacing the clutch for you to view
