Not sure if we are talking about the same thing but years ago I had something similar happening with my 2001 S. I was stopped at a light and when I got the green I started moving and when shifting to 2nd I heard this loud 'bang', almost like if something on the transmission had dropped or even like if I did not shift properly (mine is a manual as well of course) and I had to coast to the side of the road. Turned everything off, sort of scared. Waited like a minute, discussing with my son what could that be. We decided to start the car again and everything started 100% like normal. Car drove just fine after that and I have never heard that sound again.
Now that you mentioned your issue it got me thinking if that noise had anything to do with the metal piece we got into the combustion chamber years later (may be two years later). But considering how long later we had the issue I am almost certain these two events were not related at all.
