Clutch acting up?
I'm new, and I'm not sure where this goes but here is my issue:
I was driving last night and when I stopped at a light I put my car in neutral. Right before it changed I pressed the clutch and tried to put the car in first, but it wouldn't budge. I tried every gear and nothing. I turned the car off, it went into gear fine (still does when off) and when I tried starting it back up, it started lurching forward trying to start itself, so I gave it some gas and I pulled over in a parking lot. I didn't hear anything rattle or break, but when I try to start in gear, the car seems to pull down trying to move forward. The clutch doesn't feel like it lost any pressure. It might be air in the line or the flywheel not clearing. I'm also thinking the fluid could be a problem because my breaks locked up earlier today trying to start in gear.
If anyone has had this or a similar issue, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It's an 07 SS/SC if that helps any. Thank you!

Are you leaking out any fluid from the slave cyl?

Not that I can tell, would it always leak out of the transmission? I can't actually take it apart in the parking lot of my barracks or else I'll get yelled at.
I went out to check and there was nothing on the ground. The indicator is telling me oil is at 100% but its actually around 30% (I was going to change it but this whole thing happened).

It will look like you are leaking between the engine and trans it is actually brake fluid that is leaking out that is shared between the clutch and the brakes. So check that and under the car. Your clutch is not getting disengaged it's either a hydraulic issue or something mechanical with the clutch. Try bleeding the slave cyl and if that doesn't work it won't matter unless you have a leaking line or bad master cyl the trans has to come out
