Look at the axle boots - anything ripped or obviously destroyed? When mine broke it was fairly obvious, and the car made a grinding sound when I let the clutch out.

easiest way to tell is to jack the car up, put it in gear hold the brakes and let the clutch out, see what turns and what doesnt. simplest way to spot a broken axle. if nothing is turning then its something inside the transmission, or the clutch itself.
