Whats wrong w/ my T-5 Transmission..possibly diagnosis and $$ involved?

well heres the update. I drove the car in the front yard, it really didnt want to move, felt like the clutch was slipping bad. But if finally made it, and reverse worked fine. I shut the car off, and came back to it while sitting in the driveway, put it in 1st, and it wouldnt move. If you let out on the clutch the car would stall, but seemed as though it wouldnt engage until I put it in neutral and let the clutch out, then the noise came back, so i put it in 1st and it hooked and went immediately.
Maybe it is the input or countershaft???
Rick, now that you reminded me, yeah ill be at 75/80 for the ford shootout. Im usually there on friday nights as well. Too bad I wont get to run the car.
