can't get in gear-getting towed in AM, Help
2003 6sp, 27000 miles: My universe was fine yesterday, this morning I could not shift in any gear with the car running but it would go in gear with key at the "on" position. No codes, no leaks. Changed the clutch fluid. When starting in gear the car wants to move very slowly with the clutch pressed all the way. Dealer believes it's the master clutch cylinder. I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

Do you have a remote bleeder?? Sounds like theres air in the clutch hydraulics. The master cylinders do fail but seldon at that mileage.
How did you change the fluid??
You can change out a master cyl in a couple of hours. Pretty easy if your mechanically inclined.
Are you sure you need a new pan gasket?????? The small screws that secure the lower pan to the main pan sometimes just need to be retorqued. They are torqued to 106 INCH POUNDS so do not over torque them.
