i was driving a few days ago and was shifting from 2nd to 3rd accelorating kinda hard...well when i shifted it grinded real bad like i wasnt even using the clutch to shift!, i drove a little more and then came to a stop. I tried to put it into 1st and when i let the clutch off to move it stalled, i started it back up and same thing...its like im starting off in 5th!!! so i put it into nuetral and let the clutch off and it stalled like i was in a gear!!!! ~i can start it in nuetral and slip the clutch real bad to get it moving like its starting in like 3rd or 4th gear, i cant put it into gear while the car is moving only while stopped and the engine running, when the car is off i can put it into gears but its kinda hard sometimes, my car sat for a while and i started it up to see if it would stall in nuetral and it didnt...i reversed, drove in 1st 2nd and then in 3rd the prob started again, it goes back and forth depending on how much i play with the gears, my clutch pedal pressure is fine, but i looked in the clutch resivour and it was real low so i filled it up, the master cylinder rod is adjusted pretty far out too, im gonna try bleeding it tomorrow, and pull the trans off real soon, i didnt hear any loud thunking or banging noises sooo...let me know what u guys think...thanks for the help!
 
Time for a transmission rebuild. Something internal is causing it to stick in gear. Broken shift fork?
 
it ended up being the tranny, i swapped them out and its all good to go now! thanks for the replys
