Can't put car in any gear when car's turned on...
Okay so, here's my story. I was driving my car in a neighborhood going to my girlfriends house and then it became hard to shift cause my clutch stopped disengaging... so I drove it to her house and turned the car off. The car goes in and out of gear fine when off, but when on it won't even budge. Whenever I depress the clutch pedal I can't hear the clutch disengaging and when it's all the way to the floor I can hear a grinding noise coming from under the car which leads me to believe that my throw out bearing is done. I don't think it's my master or my slave because neither of them are leaking, and the clutch pedal still has pressure (although it seems like it may be a little less than before). Anyway, just wondering if I could get any input on this before I dig in and drop the tranny. Thanks in advance.

dont need a new trans.same thing happened to me in vegas at a casino.
had clutch,both bearings, pressure plate replaced and fly wheel surfaced.
not sure if it was the pilot bearing or the throw out bearing, but one them
went out and i could not engage any gears while car was running.
