so the car is a 1998 Prelude SH with about 188k. The problem is when releasing the clutch into first gear, there is a rumble that ranges from mild to quite intense. Yesterday I pulled up to a red light to turn right. when i went to put the car into first gear the shifter was very stiff and i had to force it in gear and it began rumbling quite intensely. I gave it some gas and started releasing the clutch and it stalled. when i started it up again i just gave her heavy gas and spun the tires.

Now the ball joints have been replaced, but this we need some help with.

Any knowledge or ideas would be welcome, thanks in advance.
