I started car on an incline and it seems like the something poped in the manual transmission. From that moment on, it was not possible to put car in 1st gear. Being stuck in middle of road, I put car in neutral and by gravity rolled down the hill. After AAA tow to garage, mechanic wants to install a junkyard transmission and then check if new clutch is needed. I never had transmission problem before, so I don't understand differences between transmission repair, rebuilt ttransmission and junkyard transmission. I wonder if problem is realy with clutch rather than transmission. Before this incident, car started making strange noise during acceleration but would subside as speed leveled off. I never paid any attention to it until it was too late. What diagnostic can be done to determine root cause(s) of problem? How can it be determined if problem is with cluth, transmission, both and/or other? I am trying to determine how to fix it. Any clues appreciated.
