Something went terribly wrong, I lost the ability to shift gears while moving, I get it home and look under the vehicle and the bell housing inspection hole I noticed the anti friction material thats dark a cloth looking was all mashed together and I pulled some of the fabric out of the inspection hole and the car has been down since that fateful day. Any ideas what I may have done to it?
Sounds like you destroyed the clutch plate, by shifting too aggressively...or just really unfortunate timing, but I doubt that. New clutch, and probably new flywheel time.
