tranny issues. Too Weak....

I did a search and never found what I was looking for.

Anyways, yesterday I was taking off into traffic. I started easy enough in first, pulled second pretty hard, and then tried to put it in third and it wouldnt go so I resorted to 4th and then tried all the rest after I was coasting at about 25mph. It was like the clutch wouldnt disengage. So I stoped turned it off and put it in second and then started it. It kick fwd a bit and then it started and I took off. Then it got even weirder, I pressed in on the clutch and it was still engaged. the rpms never dropped. After that I nursed it home. Then today it woudl disengage and shift okay enough thru all gears but the tranny sounds shot and it feels like I have the e-brake half on and a little ft man shaking my tranny around in the mounts. I know I need to get it in the shop, but any clue what is the exact cause??

any reply is appreciated

could be synchros too. but i still bet on shift fork(s). also you should make sure they check the pressure plate bolts. there have been a couple of instances of them backing out. incorrectly torqued at the factory
