Fiero Tranny won't shift out

So, I bought the 87 Fiero on Ebay that had a "bad clutch"
It's not the clutch - the 5-speed Isuzi had NO fluid in it. None. So I put
fluid in it, and then it would shift (tranny fluid is cool that way). It
squealed at first, but it got better. Then I drove it for about 1 mile. It
started squealing bad whenever I put the clutch down.
So, I looked in the book, and it's not NEARLY as easy as my 66 Mustang or my
74 VW Ghia.
Just how hard is it? Is it bad enough that I should just pay someone?
My son wants to change it with me, and since this is the very first time he
has EVER shown an interest in cars (and it had to be a Pontiac; as a
die-hard Ford guy, I almost wept) I want to give him the opportunity.
Anyway, feedback would be gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Toph
