wtf is wrong with my car?
Alright soo.. when my car is off, i can shift into any gear without a problem. once i turn on my car i cant shift into any gear, and the gears grind when i try putting it into reverse. it also feels like theres no force on the clutch, and it stays down until you manually pull it back.
can anyone tell me whats wrong? do i need a new clutch?

Not necessarily.
It is a clutch or other clutch component issue, but the fact that you have close to no resistance in clutch and that you have to bring it up manually points me to slave cylinder.
Open the hood and look at the slave cylinder. It will have a rubber boot, slide it back to see if there are any fluids there. Also get somebody to push on the clutch and see if the slave cylinder moves. Make sure you have fluid in the reservoir.

When pedal doesn't come back up means either master or slave cylinder is damaged. Since its a hydrolic system, if there is a leak it won't function properly. And every time you lift up the clutch manually it sucks in air.

Im sure you got your answers already but just to let you know it happened to me to, I changed the master and slave cylinder, got both from the wreackes for under 20 bucks, if you havent got to it yet make sure you get fliud, cause while bleeding you will lose some, then you can top it up. good luck

The DC2 clutch master cylinder brand new from the dealer is already $210. Factor in taxes and labour, even if you bring it to a small shop it is still around $300. NAPA autoparts sells an aftermarket one for around $160.
