Hey, New to the forum and hope someone has seen this problem before as I have not. This is my sons bare bones 2008 1500 with a manual 5 speed which has been a great truck. Today when he started to get off the interstate and was downshifting from 5th to 4th there was a loud pop and he couldn't get any gears at all. After getting stopped he managed to get it into 3rd with much effort and drove a short distance to my house and I could smell the clutch. He told me what happened and I got in it, with the engine off, clutch felt ok to me, I could shift through all the gears, started it up, all gears seemed to be there so I drove it around the block a few times, never got higher than 4th gear, but up and down shifts seemed ok. What in the heck can cause something like this, really not sure if it's safe to drive at the moment. Thanks much for any ideas or related info, cause I'm at a loss.
