Ok I got 91 teg gs. It snowed 2 days was -2 degrees it was a bit hard turning car on but it went. Now problem im having is my gears are like stuck , wont go in… Maybe after 5 pushes 4th will go in. I push clutch an its really stiff like its not working. If I try reverse it will grind. Yesterday the only way to get home was turn car off, put in first, hold clutch in , start car an go an pray it would catch the next gears. I would roll try next gear wont go in release clutch try again an so on till it went in next ones. My bro says clutch is goin out an I say its frozen. My liqueds arnt froxen I checked em all. So if ne one can help me plz would b greatly appreciated
I’m not saying it is definitely not the clutch, but it sounds as if it might just be a cable issue. Like maybe the clutch just isn’t disengaging all the way because the cable is binding or isn’t adjusted properly which I could see being exacerbated by the cold if the under-hood temps aren’t getting above freezing. It could be an issue with your pressure plate or throwout bearing, but I would check the cable and make sure it is adjusted properly first.
EDIT: Or just do nothing and when it gets up to 50 on Monday see if you still have the problem…

i agree i think it could be the cable bcz of the extreme cold weather.cold weather alone make the gears and lil harder to slide into eachother…i doubt you need a new clutch… Usually bad throw out bearing makes noise…when you go into reverse the right way to do it is clutch in go in 1st then go into reverse …then againn you might be losing your gears
Thx for replying guys an k on the temp under the hood I warm my car up bout normal a lil below half. On the reverse thing I do that then this time no gears will go in at all reverse grinds no matter what . Also the clutch is slipping whwn it did go in a gear by putting it in first before turning car on
Try to loosen the cable a little, just grab around where it meets next to the trans and pull the cable a little and un-screw the plastic nut a few notches, maybe 6 notches and then test. This will help determine if the clutch is just that worn or if something else is at fault.
Also with the engine off, and foot off clutch, try to go through all gears backwards. 5th>4th>3rd>2nd>1st>Rvrs
