Default T5 Transmission Troubleshooter

Today I hopped in my car and started accelerating. When the clutch is almost finished engaging, there is a pretty violent shudder from the transmission. I have lost pedal pressure, and it sometimes wants to die when letting out the clutch. I just had a rebuild and a new clutch done like 5k miles ago. My mechanic said the slave cylinder looked ok at the time. Does anyone know what is really wrong with my car, with the symptoms listed above?

Well the obvious first. Did you put oil back in it?Does it shift ok engine off? I suspect you CSC is crapped out but you have not told enough of the story to tell.

Hmmph....This sucks, like right after I wrote that post, I went to Autozone to get some tranny fluid, and my car crapped out and wouldn't go into any gear. NOW, it makes a grinding noise and sounds like a shaft is just spinning inside of the transmission, hitting other ****. It won't go into any gear, and the clutch wont even move the car. I am taking it to my mechanic to get him to fix it for me(parts on warranty).
