to whom ever it may concern,

i was told i should email you for an estimate and
maybe figure out exactly what my problem is and
possible solutions..

first off the problems..

1) when the clutch is pressed.. there is no noise..
however.. wen i release the clutch.. there is tons of
noise.. a lot of friction-like noise of things
rubbing.. the noise is louder than the engine and my
exhaust.. but once i press the clutch.. the noise
dissapears..

The problem is inside the transmission.

2) it is very hard to put the car in gear.. even when
the car is off it takes some effort.. in 1-2 gear..
the shifter shakes.. and eventually it will pop out of
gear.. 3-4 is not bad.. but also not good.. not to
mention yes they do grind. 1-3

The intermediate shaft bearing have failed. I would highly recommend
that you
not drive the car with this problem, you'll only ruin more stuff.

3) a while back.. everytime i left.. i would notice
drops of tranny fluid on the ground.. however.. now..
its a puddle.. ..

Check the end cover, behind the passenger tire, to see if the
intermediate shaft
has chewed through the end cover.

TRE knows their sh!t. I'd listen to them. That crack in the case got there because something behind it broke and now it's grinding a groove in the case from the inside out.

So you emailed them back in March, and you've been driving like that since then?!? You've been very lucky the tranny hasn't blown up earier.

I've seen this before. On later cars, mostly 94 + the tolerances for pre load/end play where so far off it wasn't funny. Often the pre load was so great it cause the bearings to let loose on the intermediate shaft. The hole in your case in the intermediate shaft not having a bearing to run on, and 5th gear just went through the case. Your tranny probably isn't too salavagable.
