78 celica Clutch trouble

Hello ok on my 78 Celica i cant not get it to shift into any gear while its running i bled the clutch hydraulic line with no luck
goes in gear when off but not when running i even treid to start in gear but it acts like clutch is engaged with pedal down it went through a flood here couple years ago it sat in bout 4 ft of running flood water for several hours water went down and away that night
i went out and started it day or two later but did not drive it anywhere i am thinking now the clutch /pressure plate /flywheel may be rusted together clutch has only six months drive time on it so i know its good what else could be causing this

any help greatly appreciated

Thanx
Larry

See if the clutch fork is moving when the pedal is pressed.

Ok i will have to do have sombody help me do that when i go back up to Flagstaff where the car is in storage at the moment am thinking the slave cylinder is seized in its bore from bein in the water over several hours then not bein driven to drive the excess water out of it or the tranny bellhousing i ll be damned if am am dropping the tranny again just to see what the hell is going on
i figure water just sat in there and rusted the flywheel pressure plate and clutch together intp one big useless chunk of steel i am considering putting car in the auction next month as i need money and dont got time to mess with it if i had place of own to work on when i could i would keep right now its costing me money that could be better used elsewhere
i dont know at this point what i will do with it wait till end of next month see where money sits then will decide
unless you have possible quick fix solution ....any other ideas?
will let ya know what happens

Thanx
Larry
