weird thing happened...
Last night I was driving and light turned red, so I slowed down. Pushed the clutch and put car to neutral... and started breaking...as I came closer, light turned green, so there I am driving 2mph (very slow, almost stopped) so I put the car into 1st gear and let the clutch out and pop! (transmission made a pop sound) and shifter poped out from the gear into neutral... engine reved up to like 4k... Did this happen to anybody ? Did I damage my car ?
thank you

Re: weird thing happened...
You probably let the clutch out too fast?
Usually if it's a situation like that where I'm rolling to the light (even very slowly) and it turns green, I just start from 2nd. You can start from 1st, just make sure you give it just a little bit of gas and let the clutch out very gently.

Re: weird thing happened...
yea most likely its b/c u let the clutch out too fast or the gear wasnt shifted in completely.
I also tend to start at 2nd gear even if the car is goign 1 mph, or i rev match to shift into 1st
