Default clutch or tranny problem ?

Hi all, i was wondering if i can get some help here. This last week end i was driving home at 5am and when i was like 3 miles from home. it felt like my gears popped out it just rev but wouldnt catch. i look down and it was still in gear so i tried switch gears and its all the same for all gears. so i had to push it to the closest house i knew. the next day i went and tried to see if it would work and nope this time i didnt even have to step on the clutch to change gears and still just revs didnt catch nuthing. now i think i drop my clutch. but just making sure could it just be a clutch spring. Or wouldi have to replace a whole new tranny and clutch. Winter coming and i need my car. also is there any way i can tell what to replace with out towing it to a shop. thanks,


its a 2000 accord coupe lx
manual tranny

I think it's the clutch or pressure plate. Either way, it's the same job. Could be the throw out bearing too, but I'd think that would make noise when shifting when the car's off.

i was talking to a tech friend of mine and he said that before i start buying every thing. it couldbe my master cylinder is messing it up and not releasing the clutch so all i have to do is bleed the system out and that would work if thats the problem. i will try to do that later tonight and see the results hope its just that.
