Almost forgot. Who did the belt and related tune-up parts come from? Running a wrong sized belt can really cause serious problems. Why were springs missing from the clutch? I've seen those springs break and cause major damage. It almost sounds like a variator roller shattered, or a v-slide from the back plate on the variator jammed. My friend had a v-slide crack on his Metro and it locked the transmission kinda like youre describing. I had to rescue him with my wifes little pick-up truck. Took us forever to remove the back plate of the variator! Let us know what you find.
