I need the transmission experts help, Car died in the middle of the road Options

Well, 2 days ago while in traffic my car suddenly died on me. It's a 95 ST.

I was going about 30 coming to a stop but didn't because the light turned green. So, I switch it into 3rd gear and then it just died there. Got it towed back to the house and everything. I was wandering if anyone can help or any inputs as to what the problem is?

I know it's not the timing belt and I am thinking that it's the clutch disc. Now, I don't know if they can get loose over time or whatever, but that's my guess right now. Why? Because naturally, if you don't step on the clutch, you can't move into the gears, now I can move into the gears freely without even stepping on the clutch. So that's my main reason I think it's the clutch.

I was wandering if anyone had any similar problems or any inputs as what's wrong?

that happened to me with my 7afe motor. It just stopped moving. When i took the trans off the motor it turnd out that my clutch was shattered into a million pieces! there was almost no sign of the clutch disk, just the metal pieces and springs. But see i knew i need a new clutch way before it happened, i just wanted to wait it out until i had all the 3s parts ready. but it went early. Symptoms of needing a new clutch prior to this was that the gears were REALLY hard to get in, I remember praying at every light that my car would go into gear.



Good luck, i hope you figure it out!
