hey guys ive noticed recently every once in a while my car wont want to go back into gear after stopping at a light, or when i go out of gear, but earlier today i left my car at school because #1 - the brakes have been getting pretty soft lately, and when i went to leave school the pedal was to the floor and barely activating my brakes. I noticed on my frame rail almost from the brake booster to almost the end of the block, its moist and looks like its wet which im suspecting is brake fluid leaking and i havent had time to really check where its coming from... and #2 - the trans was almost impossible to put into gear, earlier today i let the car roll a little in neutral and it let me shift, but when i tried doing the same thing while leaving, it wouldnt budge. Any thoughts? Possibly pictures to come i need to fix this by monday...
Sidenote: the brakes were still working when pushed all the way down but only when it was all the way down, and didnt slow me down that much

And when i said the brakes were getting soft lately, it was super on and off, i felt like 3/4 of the time my brakes felt solid and comfortable and the rest of the time it was soft

Well quite honestly it sounds like maybe you busted some lines?
Check the brake master lines and the clutch hard lines as well.

You might have blown the clutch line too. is it only hard to put in gear while the engines running?
can you click it through the gears with he engine off? does it grind a little going into gear running?

I somewhat have to push it into gear and give it some time to shift it at first while the engines on. While its off i can move it through the gears fine and the clutch pedal pressure is good as well

Your clutch is probably dead. No material left on the disk.
That happened to me about 3 years ago, replaced the clutch and fixed it.
How's the life on your brake pads?
Have you tried bleeding them?

My brakes are fixed. Simple bleed was good enough
