I have a 2004 MCS that has about 175,000 miles on it now and was driving on the highway approaching a toll booth. When I took the car out of gear to coast to the toll I immediately noticed a sort of clunk and new something didn't seem right. Once I paid the toll I tried to get back into gear and had a hard time shifting into 1st. Tried 2nd and got nothing, and when I finally got it back into 1st it didn't seem to engage, I just got high rpms and no torque. It did seem to slowly creep a bit and managed to pull over in a safe place. After reading a bunch it seemed like it could be a cable that broke when I pulled it out of gear. I had it towed and the garage told me my clutch was shot, but I'm not sure how they determined that without pulling it apart. Obviously I would prefer to replace a cable than a clutch. Any thoughts? Could the clutch have gone so suddenly without any sign of wear? Thanks
