Is the tranny dying or is it something else?
Car is manual transmission and turbo.

Thanks!
Sounds like either your clutch is way out of adjustment or (like others have said) .....the clutch disk is worn out.

I suggest that you do this simple test. Warm up the car, set the emergency brake, put the car in 2nd gear, rev to about 3000 rpms, slowly let the clutch out. If the engine still runs with the clutch out, most likely the clutch disk is worn out. If the engine dies, the clutch still has some life.
