The transmission isn't engaging. When I press the clutch peddle down it makes a loud screeching noise. I put the car in gear and bring the clutch peddle back up, the noise stops, but the transmission doesn't engage.

I can move the stick through all the gears with the motor running and the peddle up and nothing engages. I've been told that this is either a clutch/throwout bearing or input shaft bearing problem. How can I tell which is the issue without taking them out?

Note- the clutch isn't soft. I've had no issues with the clutch. I was shifting from seconded to third gear when this happened. Also, there doesn't seem to be an issue with the CV axel, it looks fine and isn't engaging either.

Thanks for your help!

Other than simply guessing, no you can't determine which one without taking the transmission out.

Thanks!

Once I take it out how can I tell if it's the clutch or the input shaft bearing? What am I looking for?

This isn't something you should do yourself. Someone with some experience needs to analyze the situation.
