How DO you know if your manual transmission is broken or its just the clutch here are the symptoms
1. At take off on all gears it clicks till about 3K rpm then stops clicking on 4th and 5th it revs up till about 5k till it finally grabs is it just the clutch or is the tranny done?

From what you are describing, sounds like a clutch or hydraulic issue, and not tranny related. Your description is not real clear, but from what I understood, sounds more like clutch related than hydraulic, but don't rule hydraulics out though. Better details would help.....

all the gears go in fine but when you gas it it makes a clicking sound till about 3000 rpm then it stops the clicking but on 4th and 5th gear is when it revs to the moon before it catches the gear i also noticed its leaking oil but im not sure from where

Well if it is; ur gonna have to pull the trans again anyhow. IMO i would put a new clutch in while i was there no matter what.
How many miles are on ur current clutch?

if its the rear main seal would it leak motor oil or mtf?

Motor oil; 60k on a clutch is a good bit. I would def. put a new one in when the leak get's fixed.

So the rear end is leaking?
Motor oil and gear oil are 2 totally different smells, not to mention totally different spots lol.

its coming from between the tranny and engine and it seems to be the mtf not the engine oil

Our cars don't take mtf, so that isn't what it is. The t-56 takes ATF.
