Took my car out yesterday for a ride being it was pretty nice for being in the northeast. It hadn't been started in over a month. I warmed it up and went down to the light around the corner from my house. Out of the light I layed on it slightly (shifting around 4500 rpm). After I put it into 3rd gear and released the clutch I heard something break and then heard something rattling around the transmission as I was coming to a stop. I was afraid it would no longer move but I was able to get home in first and second gear on the shoulder (I was only about a mile from my house) while still hearing something rattle around. I was afraid to try third. When I got it back into my garage I put it in neutral and released the clutch. The car stalled right away, telling me it was stuck in a gear. I tried to put it in reverse and it hesitated a second and stalled again. Does it sound like I blew out a gear, or maybe just something minor inside?
