clutch diagnosis
I believe something like the pressure plate shattered, the clutch blew up, the throw-out bearing froze, or the flywheel warped. I don't want to go to a worse case scenario and say my whole transmission and clutch went out.
Symptoms:
-clutch pedal goes to floor
-car shakes - definately noticable shake
-I can put the shifter in gear, w/ or w/o clutch pedal down, but will not grind, move or go.
-When the shifter is in gear, there is a rattle
-Car will start up fine, just the noticable shake
-If I try to "drive" with clutch engaged and shifting as if I was just trying to get moving, feels like the engine bogs down, just like if I were let off the clutch at a dead stop and have the engine die.
your thoughts or suggestions? I haven't had time to look, but I was also told to check the clutch slave cylinder, I am trying to get mechanic from a friend I know to look, but with a busy schedule, it doesn't look possible.

Sounds like the clutch is toast.
The clutch disc is probably shaved bald, dust, non-existant.
As for the bogging, I'm not sure. Get a new clutch installed first then go from there. They're probably related so fixing one might clear up the other.
