Answer
Hi Kol.  The design of the TF gearbox is such that the input shaft and the laygear are permanently connected to each other.  So long as the input shaft is spinning, then the laygear will also be spinning and you should be able to hear it.  

Put the gearshift lever in neutral, do NOT press the clutch pedal, and start the engine.  If you cannot hear any noise from the gearbox then the clutch has failed.  

The pop that you heard was probably the clutch plate letting go.  I would guess that you need a new clutch plate.
