2002 Ford Ranger clutch and tranny problems

Ok at first I thought it was the clutch going out but now I wonder if it's the tranny. In neutral everything is fine when I push in the clutch you can faintly hear a rattle sound when I put it in reverse no change when I start to release the clutch petal and start backing up I can hear a loud rattle. Go into first it goes in fine drive off just fine in all forward gears its fine when petal is released now slowing down 4 too 3 everything goes ok 3 too 2 same but now 2 too 1 just as it goes into 1st with petal pressed in still it makes a quick growl like baarr- rrwwwhh (ha ha) but now tonight everything is the same except when I went to take off from a stop going forward as I was releasing the clutch petal I could feel it as if it was grabbing then slip then grab then slip just a bit where the truck was barely jumping over and over until the petal was fully released then it went on as normal. But a few weeks ago I couldn't even get it into any gear with it running in neutral then it got a little better where it would go in most of the time like it was yesterday. Is it the clutch or is it the tranny? So very confused.
