I need help diagnosing this problem!!!!
I need help diagnosing this problem with my tranny/clutch/something 
Details:
At first, the car drove fine. Then, one day while getting on the interstate, It took about 2x as much pressure on the shifter to actually make it go INTO gear. It wouldnt grind or anything, but just harder to insert into gear.
The shifer was nice and loose as usual, just tuff to put into gear. This was in all gears. Primarily down shifting.
Two days later, more symptoms occured:
When coming to a stop, while in 1st gear for example, as soon as I would push in the clutch, you would still feel it jerk and engage almost in like a rotational manner. As if the clutch was just grabbing for a split second then would go away.
I knew there was an issue so, I took out hte transmission and..
The fork looking thing fell out of the transmission. Perhaps me grabbing on the hydrolic assembally on the transmission caused this but I would doubt it. I took some pictures of everthing so every one could get a decent idea and make a better determination.
The clutch hooked and worked great So, I really hope thats not what was wrong.
heres the pics and thanks for any suggestions I get.

Re: I need help diagnosing this problem!!!! (M$)
The "Fork Looking thing" Is called the Clutch Release Fork and Comes Out, When to replace the Release Bearing!
You need to put the Spring Looking thing back in the Fork, And Re-Install the Release bearing!
IMO...I would go ahead and replace the Release Bearing though
But, This does not seem like the problem being the release fork does not just POP off when the clutch is still intact. I would Inspect the clutch its self, Make sure no springs are broken and that the Surface's are both still in good shape!
Good Luck

I can almost gurantee you that it is the clutch disc!!
i had to fix a friend of mines car that did the same thing!!
what happened is the springs in the clutch disc were all loose, and they were ready to fall out!!!
Try looking at the disc and the pressure plate first.
