Big Bag when in first gear

[240Knightrider]

Ok, I was racing someone the other night. When I took off I was about to change to 2nd gear and this big bang happened. I hadnt changed the gears yet but It sounded like I dropped the transmission. Anyone with a manual has done this for sure, If you have ever been backing up and while moving put it back into gear, it sounded like that but much louder. I completly stopped trying to race they guy, after that I put it in second and kept driving. All the gears still work fine, went all over the car to see if I could find anything but cant. Any ideas?

maybe yer clutch freaked out? or low on fluid?

[240Knightrider]

Fluid is fine, I was low on brake fluid though.

[240Knightrider]

it did happen right when I started to press the clutch

[TurboKA37]

isnt brake and clutch fluid the same?

[navysnail]

yes both dot3 brake fluid

[TurboKA37]

from the same reservoir though?

[240Knightrider]

no a little one for the clutch and a bigger one for the brakes

*mentally envisions TurboKA37's brakes failing :0

[TurboKA37]

i wasnt sure because i dont use the brakes. i just keep on accelerating until i hit something

Motor mounts?

Exhaust backfire of sorts?

[240Knightrider]

where are the motor mounts located exactly. I checked the Transmission mounts and they were intact but didnt check the motor mounts. I did rev it from the throttle cable and the engine didnt really move at all which made me think there werent.
