Answer
Hi Nathan, This could be several things, but lets try and take the least cost worthy route first. If your clutch is grinding like that it probably needs replaced, however if your other gears are working first check to see if it can be adjusted, if not a new clutch will cost anywhere from$1200- $1500 brand new. Now for the idling up and down,first check to see if you have any coolant leaks,if so its probably your thermostat going bad,if this is not the case then it could be your distributor. let me know the outcome
