ok but the tranny was inspected a couple of months back and we did a rebuild but didnt change the clutch or anythin in that category. so why would the trany do that an the clutch has been goin out for about a year now but just recently it really started to act up (well before it broke)!!

well, every tranny has it's own value. sometimes a rebuild just doesn't cut it. it's like a smoker, sometimes they just die

I think you should get a new tranny.

Yea the only thing a clutch going out will do is cause you to not be able to shift.
