Default clutch problem

my clutch wont disengage, I know you can adjust where the clutch disengages and i have tried to adjust it. but it slips back all the way down right away. I think the spring is wore out that keeps it in place. Other opinions would be apreciated. I can literally leave my car in first gear and step out of the car and it wont die.... makes driving difficult to say the least... had to steal the g/f's car

They should beable to pick up the part for you anyways man, they're a dealership. They search through others to find parts and stuff like that.

Call/Check around local junk yards would be my next choice.

Sounds like your pressure plate is shot, or your clutch cable.
