'83 Velvet Drive Transmission Problem

I think the trany is going on my 1983 corinthian trimaran. The velvet drive trany is making a loud sandy or gravel sound for the past two days. It also now is getting harder to go into gear when you shift it in, you must raise the r p ms to get it to grab into gear. In reverse it reacts very normal. Is it a bearing or worse?
