Just tried to start car...it was in 1st gear, it jerked and shut off. I pushed the clutch in to star and couldn't get it into gear. No gear will go in. Only when car is off I can put it in gear. 10 Answers

It simply will NOT go into gear if the car is on. If it's in gear and I try to start it, it just turns and turns. Won't start. HELP! I have to be at work later
