Clutch not fully depressing. Help im worried!!!

[canadianae92]

I've had a few times when the clutch felt weird taking off in first almost like clutch was already released some it feels kind of soft this has happened a few times and one time after reversing out of a parking space and then going into third the car was still rolling when the clutch was fully depressed almost like it wasnt all the way depressed and i shut off the car and put it in neutral and tried putting it in first agian and it wouldnt move into first( I still kept the pedal depressed when i shut it off put it in neutral and started agian) I turned it off agian let out the clutch depressed agian and started and it worked like normal. Agian today when i was in reverse it kept rolling with the clutch fully depressed as if it wasnt. So i'm guessing theres something that keeps my clutch from fully depressing or something any ideas? Please help

And secondly When im trying to go into reverse sometimes i hear grinding whats up with that? Agian please help if you can.

The car is AE92 Corolla gt-s 1991...

ya check the clutch fluid lately?

i agree i would check the clutch fluid, also if your having issues getting it in gear then check the transmission fluid.

with the grinding into reverse. try stalling the input shaft by putting it in any gear then into reverse that should fix that

Thanks for the input guess I'll check the fluid out asap, just got the car a month ago don't want to go wrecking the tranny so early....... don't know why I didnt check it....

and for the part about it not going into gear thats probably from the clutch not depressing properly kinda like how it doesnt let you pop the gears around while your driving without using the clutch.
