Well, now you know why it's $1000. Could be either problem. Usually transmission problems sound really bad, so I'm guessing it's probably the clutch, or someone has removed part of the tranny or the clutch and not put it back in, or the flywheel has been resurfaced improperly and isn't engaging the clutch disc.

Can't you get a straight story from someone about what happened to it?

A lot of Eclipse had problems with the crank walking, might be that.
