Had probs. with 5th tear to start. It started to pop out of 5th gear when I let off the gas, eventullay not going into 5th anymore. You could put into 5th but when you let out the clutch it would just grind. Now the other day I drove it to work because I had no other car to take and I made it there with no issues using 1st-4th. My work is 42 mile away with a speed limit of 60 for about half of it Now when I am ready to go home from work I have no gears at all. It will not go into any geat at all. The clutch does not feel spongy it does have some pressure and linkage appears to be intact. I need some help!

What do you mean by not going into any gear? Can the shifter move to the correct positions but gears do not engage?

Have a helper look in the engine compartment while you move the shifter. See if the cables move correctly.

How are the engine/transmission mounts?

I'm assuming it grinds when trying to go into any gear?

Also, have the helper look to see if the clutch slave cylinder is operating.

The slave cylinder is working and it does not grind in any gear at all. Movement is limited to what seems like just 3rd and 4th with no difference in using the clutch.

did you check the linkage at both ends?
