Answer 2

I assume your talking about a manual gearbox. Sounds like you need a new clutch plate or clutch diaphragm. You are looking in the vacinity of $500+ minimum for parts and labour, it varies from car to car. This is expensive but is necessary. Make sure not to grind your next clutch plate once its new, it will last as long as your gearchanging ability allows.

Answer 3

sounds like the clutch is stuffed so probably a couple of hundred.
