The clutch will be very loose and it will be hard to come out of any gear.

You will be unable to shift gears

if it is hard to shift, when you shift your hear grinding, if you need to push really hard to get the clutch down, or if your in nutraul and your car dies when your foot is off the clutch
Your clutch may be going out how do you know for sure?
You have to look at the wear on the clutch and look for cracks. If the clutch does go out, the shifter will still move everywhere, but the transmission will not shift.
When the clutch goes out how do you know if it's the clutch cable or plate?
have someone step on the clutch for you and see if the "folk" moves. if it does you'll know the cable is working fine.you may want to check the cable adjuster mounted on the pedal itself.a simple test to do and find out if the clutch plate is worn out. turn your vehicle on put it in gear and just let go of the clutch (with out hitting the gas)if the vehicle stays on your clutch disc is slipping and needs to be replace.if the vehicle dies obviously the clutch is ok.
How do you know if your clutch is no good?
A major indicator would be when you push the clutch in, you can't shift your transmission. Another one would be when you push the clutch pedal, it just goes straight to the floor with no resistance, or it doesn't push in at all.
What would cause the clutch pedal to have no resistance so that gears can't be changed?
Clutch slave cylinder is leaking fluid or the connector rod or cable from the clutch pedal is disconnected or broken. Depends on the make and model of the vehicle to know the exact setup of your clutch.
How do you properly use a clutch on a big rig so it will last?
Best way is to just float the gears - shift without using the clutch. However, if you do this wrong, you'll destroy your transmission. If you use the clutch when shifting, firstly, you double clutch - try shifting it like a car transmission, and you destroy the transmission. If you don't know how to do this, go to a truck driving school. When you shift, only push in the clutch far enough to disengage the transmission - don't go all the way to the floor with it, or else you'll wear out the clutch break. Don't roll out of gear with the clutch depressed.
Is it possible that the mechanic who replaced my clutch cracked the thermostat housing accidentally?
Don't know what kind of vehicle you have but a thermostat housing and the clutch are not connected in any way. Need more info.
Do you shift a three speed automatic 1970 vw beetle?
Yes. That car has an "autostick" transmission. It's a three-speed manual gearbox coupled to an "automatic clutch." Basically, there's a very sensitive switch (a "microswitch") under the shifter. When you put your hand on the shifter, it closes the switch and works the clutch. After you shift and let go of the handle, it lets the clutch out and you can drive. Not only do you shift the car, you have to remember not to let your hand rest on the shift knob...you'll slow down in a hurry and you won' t know why.
What is the degree timing 302 ford pick up?
Need to know what year and if it is standard shift or automatic.
Can a car have a manual and automatic transmissions at the same time?
Well, it can't have one of each, but it can have one that combines their features. I know I have seen a car advertised in last few years that you can run through the gears if you want or just let it operate automatically, but Plymouth offered an auto-shift transmission back in the late 1930s/early 1940s. If you left it in high gear, it would shift back to low when the vehicle stopped and you could up-shift without using the clutch (but not down-shift).
How do you know if your clutch is broken?
If your stick shift will not move or if it will move but the car is not shifting gears, it is broken. If it feels very loose and is not catching on any gear then it is broken.
