Personally I think your trans is fine, but you actually have clutch
problems. It sounds like your clutch is not disengaging properly. It
could be a mechanical defect or maybe the release mechanism need
attention. I had one where the springs of the clutch disk came in
contact with the flywheel bolts and created a problem like you describe.
