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?

my clutch squeeks too when you press the pedal in and when u let it out.

noise has always been there, but never posed a problem., ive had those same symptoms as the OP describes in 3 different Celicas and every time it's been clutch master cyl rebuild to fix it.

i had clutch changed after the master cyl rebuild, and the squeek is still there but no problems.

try rebleeding the clutch before getting it rebuilt though, it may just be some air bubbles
