Waiting to hear back about my car.
I was heading home on Sunday and my car popped out of gear and wouldn't shift at all. I pulled over and turned it off and when I restarted it I was able to turn around but as I was going out it stalled out. It cranked but wouldn't start and the clutch was going all the way to the floor and the gears were locked up.
The guy at the shop thinks it's the clutch, not the transmission, and said he'd have it fixed by noon today. I haven't heard from him yet.
It's an old car, '93 eclipse, not worth rebuilding a transmission. I love that car... 
= new reply since forum marked as read
I called him a little while ago, he said the part just came in so all hope is not lost yet. If it's what he thinks it is the cost is doable so, fingers crossed that's what it is.
I've only had mine for a few years so it's new to me, I got it for nothing. It had less than 100K miles on it when I bought it. It's a sweet little car, plus no car payment, low insurance and it fits my needs. I love it.
I just went and picked it up, it was the clutch cylinders. It's good to go- YAY! 
No complaints but I would like something more comfortable for my ass on long trips. 
What are you offering?
I drive a Pontiac, love my car, and I can never get another one.
I am so relieved he could fix it. 
Wish I knew more about fixing cars, since I'd still have my 1971 Plymouth Duster. *sigh* My Pontiac is 2001, but other than stuff like brakes, tires and windshield wipers, the only thing I've had to replace is the alternator - just last month. *knock on wood* 
Yeah, I'm all about DIY but cars are a different story. There's not much you can do except find someone you trust and fork over the money to have it fixed and hope for the best.
I looked up that Duster, very cool car! I bet that was fun to drive.
But I inherited that car from my mother. She'd get a new car every 10 years, so I got the Duster after I learned to drive. It really was a great car! I remember that my mother originally wanted a Pinto, but my Dad said no, that it was "too small..." 
And I've read that the average age of cars on the road right now is 11 years, so people are keeping their cars these days... 
This is close to my Duster, white with blue interior, except mine had a raised stripe along the sides to prevent dents.
All make great hot rods - some were pretty good from the factory, and Chryslers generally update/backdate well. Plus there is a big Mopar aftermarket, with a bunch of vendors who really like the cars, and a very strong enthusiast community.
Legendary cars like "The Missle" are part of the reason why.
Love that era of cars, some of the best ever. I used to work with a guy who thought no car made after the early-mid '70s was worth having. And that is one great pic! 
I saw this one 
?t=1261395054 run at New England Dragway in the mid '70's. AFIK, it is the 3rd of the Ted Spehar Motown Missles - the first 2 were Barracudas - and was sold to Detroit contractor Mike Fons when Ted (and Chrysler) got out of Pro Stock racing.
Don Carlton continued racing, but updated the name to "Mopar Missle", as he did not own the rights (?) to the Motown Missile "name". All of the Carlton- built Missiles were masterpeices of engineering as well - if you look at the pic in the earlier post, notice how F',n LOW this car is - yet artful framing of the wheelwells , stance, and clever graphics make it look almost kind normal........
