not like theres a way to replace the clutch without pulling the tranny out, and s13 trannys go for usually around 65$

Explain what you mean wont go into gear.
Can you shift it into gear when the engine is off? You should be able to, even if your clutch is bad. If you can't, then its your shifter or tranny im guessing.
Have someone push down the clutch pedal, and look on the tranny passenger side and make sure the slave cylinder is pushing.
If you can get the car in gear off, can you start it in gear with the clutch pressed down? Does the car sit there and idle, or does it jump forward and stall?
When in neutral, can you hold the clutch in, and when adjusting throttle slightly up and down, push it into gear without any brakes pushed?
Try some stuff out, let us know the results. It might be as simple as bleeding your clutch, or replacing the master or slave cylinder.
Diagnose.

If you can not get it in gear when the car is OFF. When the engine is not moving, then you have tranny problems. Replacing tranny, try again.
I have a funny feeling this isnt the case though. Make sure the car is off when you try this time. And look up and down the list I gave you, and make sure you try them.
