Something really bad happened...but what?

[ChrisH027]

I was driving home from work today, on the interstate to be precise. I was in 5th gear and I reached down to the shift knob and realized it was free to move all the way to the left and right...not staying in position. Right about this time I smelled what I thought to be clutch? I got the car home in what felt like 3rd gear...

Clutch...pressure plate? What could this and how much is this gonna cost?

Eek.

Please help, any insight is appreciated.


Thanks much,
