All of a sudden I can't get the car in gear anymore. It's pretty much impossible to put the car in gear from neutral when the car's running. I have to shut off the car and then start it in first, but it goes fine into gear when the engine isn't running. There's also sooooooo much slop in the shifter it's ridiculous. When the car is in first gear, the shifter can go far enough over to make it look like it's in 3rd. Think replacing all of the shifter bushings will help or is my tranny shot (don't think it's the clutch since it isn't slipping)?

slave
probably your slave cylinder. Or if you have rediculous amount of play, it might be the bushing that holds the shift lever in place. the metal bar that that ball part sits in, has a bushing, if its gone, then you'll have rediculous slop, and when your engine is on and vibrating, you'll probably be having an impossible time engagin, but when its not on, then there is no vibration, so you can still move the shifter back and forth.
