Okay, here's how the story goes. I was coming home from autozone, and i was coming down a hill towards a stoplight that turned red. I slowed down with traffic and then i pushed the clutch in to put her out of gear. When i hit the clutch it didn't wanna come out of fourth but then she came out and then no gears worked at all. I tried all of them, so i pulled over as far as i could. I tried turning the car off and then starting it but she wouldn't go into any gear with the engine running and the clutch pushed ALL the way in. But it would go into the gears fine with the car off. So i put her into 1st, started the car, but as soon as she started it made a horrible noise so i quickly turned the motor back off. The car got towed so i am going down there tomorrow morning to check it out. I wasn't driving fast or racing the car in anyway, just normal driving when this happened. I dont know if i wanna do this fix myself,( I pretty good at working on cars), but i dunno if i wanna take the chance of say replacing the clutch and have that not be it. I've got a hunch it's the tob because it was rattling real bad last summer but then it stopped. If you guys can help out another sho owner again i'd really appreciate it. Oh yeah, sorry for the long post but i had to get that off my chest. TIA!!!

Try starting the car in first gear again. Was it making the noise while you still had the clutch pedal pushed in while starting the car? If you can shift the car while it's off, it's most likely time for a new clutch. When trying to shift into a gear with the car on did it just grind when trying to hit a gear?
I'd put my money on the clutch. That nasty noise might be something broken on the PP.

Thats right. I had it in first gear, pushed the clutch in and the car started and made a horrible noise. I didn't even have time to let the clutch out to maybe see if i could move the car off the road before i heard the noise. I turned it off right away as i had no idea what the noise was. And yes it shifts fine when the engine is off.

Try starting the car in neutral and see what it does. And then try starting it in gear again.
