Default need help asap

when i push in my clutch and go to put it in gear its a lil hard to get into gear, and the car makes a screaching noise (not too loud but loud enough to hear with the car running. if i pull it back out of gear with the clutch in it gratually stops. if i take it out of gear and let the clutch out, it instantly stops. please tell me whats wrong. im trippin out over it, and hoping its not to expensive of a fix. it started when i left a gas station. i rolled into it a little bit in 1st, then it was a little hard to get into gears. not too hard, but definately had to give it a little pressure. this is in a 96 formula with a t56. if anyone is local to denton and can come take a look ill pay for your gas.

My husband and I do side "mobile mechanic" work; he just replaced one of these the other day on a Mustang along with the clutch and I think it was more difficult on a Ford than an F-Body. He's ASE Certified too and we work on my race car so we know it pretty well. A shop may charge you a crap load of money.

i replaced clutch at the same time also, i would reccomend it at the same time since they are going to be in there. i get a nasty hook up on gm parts, so the slave and throw out(which come together if you buy a new slave) were not that expensive. pm me if you need more info, like prices.
