Default b18c1 clutch or tranny problem

so basically my problem is my car all the sudden became really hard to shift an get into gear, when the car is at a complete stop i can shift into any gear just fine but once i start moving its hard to shift gears its like it doesent want to go into gear, its not just one gear its all of them. the tranny dosent make any noises and it dosent pop out of gear and grips fine but its hard to shift. i can kind of feel it binding when i shift into a gear like the clutch isint all the way in, it grabs a little. it started after i was merging on the highway from a complete stop. i slightly chirped my tires trying to merge and then it got hard to shift. any help would be really helpful i dont want to drive my car for fear i will cause more damage.

might save you from having to replace the trans. But go to a GM Dealer and get 3 bottles of GM Syncromesg FM trans fluid. For 25$ it might work. I hear that stuff works wonders.

it happened to me a while ago until it won`t even go into gear at a stop and it turns out to be a broken shift fork.
