Ok, going out last night for some taco bell after work... The transmission was shifting a little stiff, but the clutch felt fine otherwise... Ordered, pulled through the drive through, still all good, get ready to turn left out of the parking lot onto the road [4 lanes with center turn lane], make it to the center turn lane and the car acted like someone pulled it out of gear. I stop, try to put it back in gear [still in gear though] and try to take off, no dice. Get out, under the hood, no broken axles, I hear some rattling, tension still on the clutch cable, but it won't move. Had the girl with me jump over to the passenger seat, another person stopped to help me push it over to the rock-ola cafe parking lot, and there's where she sat until my dad got here to drop me off another car and cart mine back home to our shop...

This sucks...

By all indications, I broke the tranny input shaft clear off
