ok this tranny has been through some hellafide gear banging. well at first the car lost 5th gear(it wont even go into 5th) then the car lost 3rd gear(wouldnt go in). then i was driving one day and gave 3rd gear a shot and voila it went in but grinding. well 5th still doesnt work. but 3rd does ever sense then but grinding everytime i put it in 3rd unless i engage the clutch then disengage then engage and put it in. well i was coming down the road the other day and was ****ing around with another car that was next to me. i was in 2nd gear and i kept peggin it a little at a time(sorta jumping up). well i come to the next stop light and it WILL NOT go in 1st gear,unless i let the clutch out half way. then i turned around and headed home expecting the worst. and every gear change i have to pull soo entirely hard to engage the shifter. well i get infront of my house, and am in 1st gear and i pul up a bit and let off and there is this horrific knockin sorta clunking noise from under the car(sorta middle of the car). so i park it and my moms boyfriend checked it out and when he would engage the clutch and let it out just idling it would make like noise almost like a gear had been eaten up. so i call my dad and he wants to come over to check it out, so i take it for a short ride arond the neighborhood to make sure its still doing it and i go into 2nd gear and totally lose 2nd it just revs like as im not in gear. so i park it and wait. well he gets there and drives it and we decid he will follow me to take it to his house where he can work on it. and do not ask me why im soo iggnorant but, my dad has 96 cobra and pulls next to me and wants to run. i think he thought the tranny was shot and was gonna need replacing anyways so he didnt mind.(the car is his but he gave it to me if that helps). well we take off and out of nowhere 2nd gear works 
well he says he thinks maybe the shifter fork is bent or something he says and he doesnt think its getting into gear . but it totally feels like its going into 2nd . iand i was thinkin maybe hes right b/c maybe i got 2nd when i ran him b/c of pulling it so hard that it went in well hes trying to replace the tranny but i was wondering if you guys knew it was something to do instead of replacing the tranny.my dad is old school and doesnt know much about new cars,and he doesnt know anything about internal shifter forks he knows about external. and myself i dont know much of anything about cars but am trying hard to learn, im 18. well if any of you guys arent totally pissed off b/c i made the story so long(just trying to le you understadnd everythin that happened so no confusion) you will answer my question if you know the answer.
thank you
