if its an auto transmission try putting your foot on the brake pedal before engaging a gear if its a manual/stick check clutch travel by pumping pedal, have helper look at clutch fork area on gearbox, should have over 1 inch travel. if not much travel check firewall area of cable (not hydraulic cutch) look out for movement in firewall (somtimes cracked/rusted) can be fixed easily...
