Took the car out today, was at a stop light, I believe I was in neutral (but could have in gear, I forget), however the car bucked and I heard a clanging sound. Car will not move forward (or reverse) in any gear, but still shifts. When I try to move forward it sounds like it's slipping really bad (except it's not moving forward at all)

- I can still shift 1,2,3 etc. even reverse
- Clutch pedal still has pressure
- Nothing visibly broken, leaking, etc.

Anyone hear of a Spec 3+ grenading when not racing at a stop light like that? Could it be anything other than the clutch?

Does the car roll in neutral? Wouldn't be rage trans locked up could it? Short of breaking an input, or the pressure plate coming off the flywheel, the car should move. I've had some smoked clutches come in, but nothing that sounds like that. I blew up a T5 doing pro street burn outs on the street and the trans locked solid, could poke it in any gear but car would stall no matter what you did.
