NO ! thats the problem gears one minute gone the next !...although I did have the stereo up pretty loud
had been detecting an intermittent vibration coming and going since I did the clutch !

Not sure, but check the shift rod coupler under the rear seat.

Check the drive splines in the brake drums
look for a loose axle nut

'This one time on band camp" I had 'issthues' with a clutch plate, had the oldskool adjustable tab thingies...after putting the engine back in the thing ran like shiet, and gears were hard to engage etc...thought I broke some strange sprocket on my thinimiebob wtf is going on PANIC etc 馃.....so--oo took engine back out and checked it all out, and one of the nuts hadn't been tightened properly, so a tab was loose on the plate, so the plate was sitting crooked/uneven preassure so re-set it all and tightened it up properly...or do you have the new fangled whizzbang spring loaded type?
may not be of much use...but I know it freaking vibrated when it was wrong....馃槧

sounds like something related to the input shaft.
Probably the throw out bearing or clutch,
or even the sleeve that joins the input shaft to the mainshaft inside.

Have you looked at the driveshafts and CVs? If the shift feels fine and there's a complete lack of drive then it could be on the output side.
