Default Car is stuck in Reverse Gear!

I live in nj and its very cold now around 20s, so yesterday after leaving work i see my car has ice on it from the cold. I let it warm up untill 3 bars (AP1). Once its warm i attempt to put into gear but it wont move into anything, it takes 15 min till it budge and i get home, the whole way it gave me problems into first. Then today i changed the clutch fluid with my dad he goes and drives it. When he returns he reverses it into my garage and now its STUCK . Im guessing the is air in the fluid because it was low when i changed it? any help guys how much to fix it. I just bought her dec 25 with 90k miles

make sure all the air bubbles are out of the line, also have you messed with the rod location under the dash to the CMC? Honestly, I have changed my clutch fluid a few times, and there was air in it still. Also I use synthetic clutch fluid, and brake fluid on S2000's. Does it ever feel notch, when you press the clutch in?

Check around and see if clutch fluid is leaking anywhere.

Look on the bright side, at least you'll be able to rewind the odometer.

and after bleeding you should MASH THE CLUTCH. im talking your hardest. a few rapid pumps will get the pressure back. thats what fixed mine.

Flush the clutch fluid. Bleed it of air. If the fluid is old the water in it is acting up in the cold.
