Kinda surprised you did an engine swap and didnt look at the clutch while the motor was all out and accessible...

bad news guys.....
on my way to work (<5 miles) about 11am, i think the clutch gave up on me.
i was slowing down to make a right turn, i shift into first gear and hear a loud pop sound. the car shuts off, so i crank it up successfully. i throw it into gear to get more onto the emergency lane and guess what, i am stranded.
i can shift it throught the gears but i go no where and the rpms rise as well as the speedometer.
after work i go and check on it, and it cranks up fine once again. when i put it in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears and let the clutch pedal out completely, there is a loud grinding/clanking noise. 1st and 2nd there is no noise.
so im assuming the clutch is shot and hopefully there is no damage to the tranny. there is only ~50k on the tranny.
and i also assume that the VSS is done since the speedo rises, right? or is that a symptom for something else?
someone please shed some light while i go and search like a mad man.
