Obviously, there are so many things I'm yet to learn about this forum. I didn't know it has a spokesperson named Sebba...clearly my negligence! I'm a faster learner and oh yeah...I AM LEARNING!

Don't feel bad, he just likes to run his mouth. Now you know.

You don't have a busted cv joint do you? Are you positive it is going into gear? Broken tranny cable maybe?

If there was a problem with the clutch MC, you wouldn't be able to get the car in gear at all. There would be no way to release the clutch from the pressure plate. Is the clutch surface glazed? Although, that normally happens with a new clutch that wasn't broken in properly..?

I finally got my car fixed. The problem was a worn Jackshaft (the piece that goes from the driver side axle into the transmission). I had it replaced along with a new axle. While at it, I changed the clutch master and slave...everything is running fine again. Thanks everyone for saving big money! My mechanic wanted me to buy a new transmission but with inputs from you guys, I avoided the unnecessary expense and got the problem solved.
