Transmission Questions
Any links to websites or places that I could get either a new 5 speed tranny or my current one rebuilt? Thanks

It was just that, but now when I start my car...it will not shift into gear...not 1 thru 5 or even reverse...I just recently have had the engine rebuilt but the tranny has 130k miles on it so i'm thinking it needs replaced...plus I want to change the clutch out so, might as well do it as once...

$75 part, unless you want to buy a used one that isnt' the stronger design.
In any case, I agree that something in your clutch isn't working. If you can shift with the car still and engine off, but not with the engine running, your clutch is not disengaging.

Also, since the tranny is the original one from the car...130k on it...should I just try to find a used one with relatively low miles on it and just replace it?

If it won't shift with the engine off, it's probably within the tranny.
You could take it to a rotary shop, but any good transmission place can find the problem. In most cases, rebuilding a tranny will cost way more than using a low-mileage imported tranny. Those are $650 every time, while rebuilds usually end up costing more, sometimes much more.

i foresee more damage the more you drive and force into gears . somethings is obviously wrong. once my fd got stuck in 3rd gear and no amount of man power could pull it out . had it towed home from the track and had to have it completely rebuilt . ripped up alot of the insides just trying to pull it out of gear and getting to the pits in gear . IMO pull it fix it . you dont want to be stuck rather you decide when it goes down
