i popped the clutch (missed) the brake while turning at 35 mph.... the car bucked and may have lost 3rd and 1st gears... then 4th and 5th and maybe 2nd also.. reverse is hard . it will go if i force it by letting it leave from reverse or have it in motion .... it makes a hard thump to move forward or backwards.....Do i need new tranny or could it be .. bushing plate on clutch or something else?
