more clutch help please (car in shop ) ....

I have a 2003 Neon R/T 5-speed manual transmission. I believe that I need to rebuild it and would like to buy a kit, but it has proven to be harder that it would seem to find one. Here is the story of the transmission and tell me if you think it needs to be rebuilt or if it is something different.It was slipping out of 5th gear. Over time it became more and more frequent. Eventually it wouldn't hold itself in 5th gear at all. I had to manually hold it in 5th gear. I was going down the highway, and it slipped out of 5th gear. So I tried putting it back, but when i released the clutch pedal nothing happened. It acted as if it were still in neutral. So I put in fourth and thought that i could make the rest of the trip that way and then fix it at my destination. About 5 miles down the road 4th gear went out as well. I parked the car at a shop, and am now seeking a method of solving this problem. Thanks for your help.
