Excuse my ignorance.....I'm having a hard time putting my shifter into each gear. The only way I can do it is if I push the clutch through the floor of the car (at least it feels like it's going through the floor of the car) and sometimes that doesn't even work. Is it King Corbra time? or is it possible that I just need to adjust it somehow? Any help/info is appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like a stretched cable and/or a malfunctioning self-adjusting quadrant.

Have you tried putting your toes under the clutch pedal and pulling it up as far as it will go to self-adjust the quadrant?

Tried it and didn't work.....any one know of a local honest shop that can look at this and not charge me my left arm to fix it?
