Anyone have any idea's? Also i have it up on jack stands at all four corners could that have the car in a bind and cause this problem? The clutch is working like it should (i can get it into gear while it is turned off),then when running i can depress the clutch and the wheels stop turning it is just trying to shift while it is running i'm having a problem with, It is like it is stuck in gear. If i put it in neutral then try to put the car in gear after starting it is like it is stuck out of gear. Please help

Well what you could try is adjust the clutch cable if you have a firewall adujuster, otherwise your gonna have to get on the ground where it meets the tranny and adjust it there. That changes how far you gotta press the pedal to make it engage/disengage fully.
