Default Do i need a new clutch?
How do you know when you clutch goes out. My clutch doesn't have any pressure on it anymore and when i try to shift it is hard to. How much would it cost to get it fixed or is it easy to fix?

If it is hard to shift, it is not clutch, it is cable or hydraulic, whatever your car has. If it's cable, you need to adjust it, if it's hydro - bleed. This could be shifter linkage, too.

is that cheaper than a clutch? cuz my car doesn't want to go into any of the gears and the clutch has no pressure on it. so its either the linkage or the cable.

If your clutch pedal does not push back, most probably your cable is dead - you need to replace it, not adjust. It's not that big of a job and can be done at home with minimal mechanical skills
