Hello, so i know this subject has been mentioned before, but i was going 1st to 2nd gear fast in my 2000 mustang gt (t45) and when i hit 2nd it was almost like i lost the gear completely and at first i could use 3rd 4th and 5th then at a stop light i tried to use 2nd again and it locked me into 1st gear even while I'm in "neutral" from what ive heard its usually the clutch fork but once i pulled out the transmission and looked into the clutch assembly i found what looks like broken metal in the farthest back inside the clutch (picture attached) just looking for some opinions on what you think it is
