HELP I've got an engine problem Options

Alright so I was driving to the grocery store with my girlfriend. We went inside and then when we came out and got outside, I turned on the car and I couldn't get the car into gear. Also the clutch felt "different." and also the car was shaking like crazy!!! After trying forever I finally got into 1st gear and then I tried to shift and I couldn't! I had to force it into 2nd and then 3rd. luckily my house was like a mile away. But two times my car wouldn't let me get into gear on the way to my house. as of now its sitting in front of my house. I have no idea what's wrong with it. So what's the problem? can it be fixed? and how much will it cost to fix it?

alright well i took the car to Toyota since i'm not too good with cars and i couldn't find the problem and they said something about the slave and master cylinders were exhausted or something like that? And that the pressure plate? was worn out. I don't quite remember what was said because they called my house and talked to my mom because i wasn't home, so i dont have the full details. But they said it was going to cost about 1700 to fix everything. I have 180K on the odometer and and all engine parts are original. Does this price sound right? I do have the money to fix it, but that would pretty much wipe out my checking account.
