2000 Jetta clutch won't go into gear? HELP!?

Question

I was driving my 2000 Jetta and all of a sudden, when I put my foot on the clutch I felt more heavy vibrations. It was harder to put the stick shift into gears then about 20 seconds later, it wouldn't go into gear at all. I pulled the car over to the side and turned the hazards on and when the tow truck came four hours later, the battery completely died as well. Has anybody ever had this problem before or know of a cheap way to find out the diagnostics? I am a college student and am barely surviving so money is definitely an issue. If you have any information about what might have happened and what I can do, I would be so grateful. Thank you so much!

Is your clutch hydraulic operated?  if so, you should check your clutch hydrualic
master cylinder reservoir and if it requires fluid you will need to fill with clean brake
fluid from a sealed container (brake fluid draws moisture).

It seems to me you will need a new clutch, but go on face book or ask around to see if someone can repair it for you and buy the part online for about $60 and have someone put it in for about $150 to $200. If you take it to a shop it will cost you roughly $500 to $700.

ouch... It sounds like either your linkage to your clutch is broken, or your clutch is gone. In a simi you could float the gears, but you sound stranded. Hope for the first, the broken or disconnected linkage. Actually as Pat mentioned, hope it is hydraulic and a change of fluid works. Hydraulic is another type of linkage.
