Possible clutch problem... Options

[Teyaku]

I was driving my car down 17-92...came to a stop light, went to put in gear and it wouldn't go...tried revving and going into gear that way...wouldn't budge...A guy was cool enough to tow my car to a parking lot...as I was sitting there waiting on my brother I was playing with the gears...it would go into gear with the car off...so I tried starting it in gear...and it di died in first..so I tried 2nd...and she started to pull forward with the clutch pedal all the way in...so I gave it gas..and I could go forward...but I can not shift gears while the car is on...so I decided to ride the car home in 3rd...anyways...I can't understand why it's doing that...

Is it possible it's the syncros? Or is it just the clutch? Cuz it was pulling the car with the clutch all the way in...

Mind you I haven't driven this car hard...I've only put 30 miles on it...So my mechanic is getting a visit tomorrow

So my question is...anyone have any idea why it's doing this???

Any car is going to be jerky if u started it in gear - DUH. The ONLY reason u would have to start the car in gear, is if ur clutch has already waved by by and u gotta move it.

If I have the car and gear and start it (when working properly)...it's not jerky...If you put the clutch pedal to the floor...start the car...the clutch is disengaged...if you don't have it enaged...then it's going to jump...no shiznit...and the clutch is brand new...(I know you're trying to say that if it was burned out it would be acting differently)

When I'm driving the car in gear...if I push the pedal to the floor...it does not disengage the clutch...so if I come to a complete stop then the car jumps then cuts off (obviously)

Thanks for the info fellas.
