Grinds in all gears = broken trans

Yes you can use a floor jack

If the clutch is engaging and disengaging the input shaft then the grinding will go away when you push in the clutch while it's in gear I'm assuming? Then you broke a gear on either the mainshaft or countershaft.

You could have ripped the center out of the clutch disc.You would get that grinding metalic sound.
