I have a 2003 ford escape manual transmission with 86,000 miles sounds like broken glass floating around in the engine but only when car is in gear and clutch pushed in. Now starting to jump when in gear at stop with clutch in. Other day would not go into first or second gear. Today fine except broken glass noise

it sounds like your clutch needs repair. with it jumping it could be something broken off and get wedged in, the pressure plate usually gets weaker.
have the clutch checked go from there.
