You can get those symptoms from having air in your clutch line. First, check your clutch master cylinder. If it's low, you need to bleed your line to the slave cylinder. You'll also have to figure out why it's low.

Incomplete disengagement. Air in the MC/line/slave, or a rusted spline.

ok doesn't sound like the worst case scenario, its crazy how some air in the line can make the transmission feel like its gonna explode
