sounds like clutch problem. maybe pressure plate? you say it grinds when going into gear? or possibly transmission is failing? best to have mechanic check it out.

yes thats what im thinking could be my clutch its not that sort of a griding sound when i put it into first gear it will move but when i go over 4-5rpm it will start skipping in first and when i shift to second gear it will start skipping over 5-6 rpm and now its just about starting to do the same in 3-4 gear
