My 89 amigo wont go into gear when the engine is started but will when the engine is off. What do I do? I've tried starting it in gear and it starts and goes but fights me for every other gear and wants to die. My clutch pedal is bottomed out and Im still fighting to put it into gear and it wont go.

You're having a problem with the hydraulic clutch system. You probably have a slow leak in the clutch master or slave cylinder. You will have to locate the leak abd repair it and them bleed the system out.

Just take it to a shop. This is not something you can do yourself with no experience.

It's usually in the $200 to $300 range, depending what it needs.

ok Thank you again. I just put 900 dollars into the front end for axle shafts and breaks about 2 weeks ago and paid 1500 for it 2 weeks before that so I was wondering if it would become my own personal money pit but hopefully this ends the problem. Thanks again

The truck is 22 years old. Don't expect it not to cost you some money.
