so tonight during a ~100 mile drive i ran into some problems about 10 miles from my destination. driving along in 5th gear, ~70-75 mph a felt a slight buck. like fuel cut for a millisecond. did it a few more times, wide band, boost were fine so no cut then blam, clutch slip with a loud whine and rpms shot up until i caught it. after that i limped about 2 miles to the next exit in 4th doing 45ish. constant rattling and bucking/slipping. got off and in first gear full slip then a kinda pop crunch noise and car acted like in nuetral but in gear. after that i was locked out of all gears. now while idling i could hear a lot of noise. bell housing and when i pressed the clutch zero change. heres the key. my tob has had a rattle since November where i could disengage the clutch and rattle stopped. is this a sticky/malfunctioning tob or something else.
 
Yup, hopefully just a clutch disk and TOB failure. If it is internal, well, you won't know until you pull the transmission off.

What clutch and throwout bearing were installed?
