Hi,

I am unable to put my car into gear. The only gear that I can remotely try is the reverse and the gears grind when I do this.

Hi Eansmom,

If the clutch pedal travel is very low, you need to check the hydraulic system.

If not, with park brakes fully engaged and brake pedal depressed, without starting the engine, engage 1st or 2nd gear. Depress clutch and start. If the vehicle tries to jerk as if the clutch has not been depressed, you need to the clutch assy.
