They are not discolored. No signs of heat, no blueing, nothing. They just snapped off or something got in there.

I remember I heard a weird noise as I came to a stop, clutch in. Like a quick grinding. Car drove fine for a bit after but stated making a weird noise. I thought it was engine. So my solution? Took off from a light and try to go into fourth, that terrible loud grinding noise, like a gear trying to mesh with a fast spinning gear and not working. I babied it, as I was like a mile away from home, and everything was working as normal except 4th.

Then the next morning I went to inspect and huge puddle of gear lube under the car, and I saw broken case. Then I said, welp, there goes $2000....
