So i was wondering if anyone could help me out...

1st gear is popping, and 2nd & 3rd gears are both grinding. Master and slave cylinder both recently replaced by a shop. Once the grinding worsened, i stopped driving it, and noticed a puddle of tranny fluid underneath the car. Not sure where the leak is coming from, but I'm guessing that could have something large to do with the grinding and/or popping. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Center support bearing. Input bearing. Probably the torrington bearing between the input and mainshaft. Rebuild time.

When the bearings wear, and they do. They cause mis alignment in the gears. If you keep driving, you probably will have to change damaged gears also.

Fix it quick. Good Luck
