Did some spirited driving today. I left from a stop light in first, no issues. Shifted to second, gear would not engage. Stranded.
Shifting gears, they all feel like they are engaging and the engine revs freely. Clutch peddle is firm and sounds like it’s moving. Pulled the car home (was back in the neighborhood). When pulled, I hear a clicking sound. Car can be pulled in or out of gear, makes no difference.
Thoughts on where to start?

Rear drum hub(s) stripped from 36mm nut not being torqued to 200+ pounds. Pull rear hubs to see if brake drum (most likely) or the axle stub is stripped.
broke a CV joint

Good call, Carey!

you will normally see some metal shavings at the 36mm nut if the axle ate the brake drum splines.
Yeah, stripped drum splines usually produces a grinding sound, rather than a clicking sound (Don't ask me how I know.) 😡
Thanks! I'll check those two items one of the next few evenings and report back.....then ask where to get the parts ordered from!

Is the car IRS or swing axle?
