Clutch problem
Got into my car today, started the car and my clutch felt, easy to push. And when i try to put it into any gear i can't. Doesn't go in it, and i the first time i tried it it made a noise. like ERGHHHHH. After than no noise or anything just doesnt go into gear. Bleed it it? Change slave cylinder? I"M CONFUSED

What's your fluid level look like?
You may have a leak somewhere, most likely from the slave cylinder.

Time to get under the car, pull the slave cylinder and see if it's leaking.
You probably have air in the slave cylinder line also. Is it much easier to push the clutch pedal now than is was when all was working OK?

Cold weather can aggravate internal leakage in master cylinder and will prevent complete clutch disengagement. Try pumping clutch pedal 30-40 times. If pedal doesn't return by itself, you'll have to pull it up by hand.

I pumped it about 20 times after i put more fluid in. Nothing happened. The clutch did't get stuck or anything though.

This happened to a 95 M3 i test drove. I was on las vegas blvd when that happened! the clutch would stick to the floor and i would have to pump it like 20-40 times for it to engage once, lets just say that S50 took a beating being driven mainly in first for 3 miles. The seller made no mention of the problem so I dont feel bad.
My mechanic told me it was the master and slave clutch cylinder.

Put my clutch doesn't stick to the floor. Goes into gear when not running but when running it doesn't. And how much was the Slave cylinder? Or how much would it be?

It possible you CLUTCH PLATE is done. It happen to me one night going home from work; got to a light and nothing; had to have it towed home. The next day I took out the gearbox and the peices of the clutch ccame down on me.
