Default is it a clutch problem, or a tranny problem?

From previous experience, i'm 75% sure that it's a tranny problem.

on a friends 95 eclipse.

the car runs. and goes into gear. the clutch feels like it engages. no slack, or difficulty with the pedal. however, when you let off the clutch, nothing happens.

there's a grinding sound comming from the tranny in neutral, and in gear. when in gear, the car can be pushed, as if in neutral.

on my third gen, when the clutch went out, it was a PIA to put the car in gear, and when i got it going, it made a horrible rubbing sound. and, it didn't like roll very well when it was off either.

so am i 75% right, or am i 75% wrong?

Are you sure he didn't just snap an axle and the differential is just spinning freely?
