I noticed the rust where it should be shiny metal if it just broke.. That tells me it was broken for a while and finally let go.Looks like it was cracked for some time before it let go.
I was less than 10 miles from my house, and would’ve preferred to limp the car home instead of having it towed, but I don’t understand how that would have been possible. Are you suggesting that I could have started the car with it in gear?If you have a good full synchro trans, capable battery, and starter, you should be able to drive that baby home and repair it there.
I thought everyone was talking about starting the car while it is in first and then driving it till you have to stop. You would then have to kill the engine and then restart it in first. Are you now saying you can change gears while going down the road with the clutch engaged?Once you get the feel for what RPM the gears can "release" the shifter and if you need to be increasing or decreasing RPM...
...it gets somewhat easier.

...while covering the brake and with your hand ready to turn the ignition off if necessary any time you are approaching other traffic, or a stop.
