You are not supposed to shift into 1st while rolling. It is not a "drive" gear, but functions only to get you going. This driving habit has lead to this result. Gear fluid plays a roll as well.
There is a guy going by Drakito on neons,org that rebuilds mtx's for around $350, and you pay the shipping. Something to consider.
