chances are real good that Dale is right, the backlash and noise you heard for the past while were a result of the clutch hub being broken, after a while the metal tabs on the disk either wear down or break off. Tell your shop to remove the large cover at the rear of the driveshaft/bell-housing and see if the shaft can be turned by hand. If it can the disk is broken, if it can't, the problem will be in the trans.
Good luck

Well thats a real helpful constructive comment thanks peckster
! senseless quips like yours are easy throw aways and guaranteed to **** people off especially when they are facing a $2000 garage bill.
If you can't answer the question actually posted I suggest you save your stupid comments for the kindergarten
I seem to remember that this is your standard sort of answer to peoples posts anyway because you you don't know anything. What an arsewipe
What would you have done driving 75 miles home from work in a snowstorm minus 3 deg ? parked up and walked home?

Update
I went to the garage and had to wait 1.5 hours before they could finaly get it up on the ramp and even then there is no clear answer.
It looks like they are going to have to take the engine out or drop the rear end to get the torque tube housing out to see anything. The torque tube will turn by hand but there is a tight spot and some graunching noise in the vicinity of the clutch.
The car was booked in for the head gasket to be done anyway so the garage say it may be easier and cheaper to drop the engine to do both jobs.
It definitly isn't the rear axles g/box at least

Please don't presume to lecture older more experienced drivers about their driving techniques unless you have the same level of experience. Us old gits don't take too kindly to being told how we should drive by young whippersnappers like you lol

we all know what assuming does
i only said it cause i've heard it soooo many times on the List.
that's awesome that you're the original owner. hopefully i find a car someday i'll want to keep it's whole life.
hope the shop finds the problem fast and your wallet doesn't have too much of a "diet"
i know how THAT goes...on my 'not-so' well taken care of '44
best of luck

Please accept my apologies for my outburst which was directed at another and not you.
I should have held my temper but after being stranded in a snowstorm with no heat for 3.5 hours and facing a third big bill in one month I lost it.
There are some really knowledgable, helpful and genuine guys on this forum ,the best you'd ever care to meet but there is also a few with neither knowledge or respect who, with sarcasm and rudeness, attempt to bring this forum down to their level.
I guess the reason that we hear that advice about braking with the gearbox all the time is there is a lot of truth in it .! When you have lovingly rebuilt gearboxes, diffs and engines with your own hands, as you and I have, it gives you a clear insight into what is happening in your transmission as you accelerate and de-accelerate hard
I drive with my toes only as if I have an egg between the pedal and my foot. Its difficult to be harsh on your car when you drive like this.!
best wishes from a fellow enthusiast.
