Took the car for a spin last night. Backed it out of the garage, and drove it to a store. When I got back in to leave, it didn't want to go into reverse. Putting it into first was difficult to do, but it went. I decided to take it home but the shifting was hard to do. I got it into the alley, and had to use 4th or 5th gear. I pushed it into the garage, turned it off and went through the gears, and they worked fine. The clutch has less than 500 miles on it. It has worked flawlessly, until last night. Where do I start looking???

Check the fluid level. It has probably all leaked out through the master (look under the front carpet) or the slave (look for puddles under the engine).
