What's happened to suggest that? New clutch will set you back just under £100 for the part. I had mine fitted for an additional £180 (was a bit pricey).

2 get it in 1st gear it has 2 be in gear before i start the engine. then changing gears needs a lot of force...

I had that problem, it was only the clutch though,
When driving along 30+, put the clutch down and listen carefully, can you hear and whine?

The cable could have snapped or the pedal box weld broken.
Have a look at the cable in the bay, and get a flash light up into the footwell to look at the weld.
Not great news either way!
