The only type of clutch failure that I know of which would be accompanied by a "pop" sound is the pivot ball snapping.

...I'm not sure that's what happened here but it is easy enough to check. You just have to get under the car and see if you can move the end of the clutch fork with your hand.

What part of the city are you in btw?
