get a new clutch. if it was the master cylinder or a lack of fluid it would stall when you let the pedal out and wouldnt even go into gear without stalling. not really a wierd problem, your clutch is made of a material similar to your brakes, and will wear out over time. the less you slip the clutch (like on hills) the longer it should last. but like brakes, it will eventually wear out.

I understand, however a clutch usually wears out over time. I turned the car off, and about a hour later i went to go start it and go, the car si,ply did not move. Its like the clutch pedal as pressed to the floor though its not.

the shifter is just moving. the clutch doesnt do anything. I jacked the car up too day and when i push the clutch in the wire moves properly and everything but i can just put it into any gear with out pushing the clutch in. and i have pressure in the clutch. but when it is in gear i can rev it to 7000 rpms and the car does not move. i took the shifter apart and i watched the driveshaft and i tryed to move. when i rev it and its in gear or not in gear the driveshaft does not move at all.

sounds like for some reason the clutch plate is not engaging the flywheel, if it did, the car would not go into gear without the pedal depressed, and most certainly would not rev to 7000rpm standing still. this would not be a hydraulic problem. get a clutch kit and put it in and i bet your problem will be solved.
