I dont know if this has anything to do with the sudden problem, but I never had a problem with my clutch before. My car is at 190k. Last week I changed the tranny fluid because of rough shifting and occasional grinding. It fixed everything now my tranny shifts are all smooth. NIght and day difference. But today I ran into a new problem. I parked, got into my car started it pressed down on the clutch and the clutch wouldnt disengage because it wouldnt let me shift into any gears...so I turned of the car shifted into gear and it worked from there on. Again..later today I stopped at a light pressed down on the clutch and it wouldnt let me shift so I turned the car off then shifted and started it back up and it worked fine. What seems to be causing this problem?

intermittent fault, i doubt its mechanical (such as a pressure plate finger, clutch fork, throw out bearing etc)
Look at the hydraulics first. Had a similar issue on a mates 184 i was fixing, seals in the master cylinder was the issue. Get someone to depress the clutch and you watch how much travel there is in the clutch fork, take note. Then when it plays up do the same thing, see if the travel is equal or less.
