My 1993 mazda protege started poping back into neutral after shifting inte 5th gear. Now there is a loud grinding sound when shifting to all gears. Even in nuetral. No sound grinding sound when idleing or starting the car.

There was also a high pitch whisteling sound when driving over 50mph. Doesn't sound good. Expecting the worst. What could it be? Thanks!!!
