Transmission? Clutch? Axle?

Hi guys, i have a weird one here for you. I was driving my 97 civic yesterday, and as soon as i released the clutch going in to second gear i heard a pop, and now the car won't go in any gear. The clutch feels the same, I can shift into gears, but when I let out on the clutch the car doesn't even attempt to move. Any insight is appreciated.

Have you changed the clutch and transmission fluid lately?

No, the only thing I have done is add hydraulic fluid to the clutch reservoir a few months ago, it still has plenty in it.

Have you looked at the shifter cables? Maybe one snapped or popped out...

Sounds good. Take pictures of anything that looks... off.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Run the engine and put trans in a gear, act like you are trying to go somewhere.......Does the speedometer needle register any speed?

If it registers speed, then your problem is CV joint or axle related.
Broke a CV joint or broke an axle, or an inner joint popped out of the trans.
