Default Stuck in 5th gear, what happend?

Driving from AZ to CA today I slowed at the border and tried to change gears...I could not get into any gears except back into 5th. I got off at the next off ramp and blew through two stops to keep the car rolling. Got on the highway back towards AZ feathering the clutch in 5th...bad smells.

I got all the way home to Chandler AZ and was able to get into the gears again. I think I hear a rolling rattle in gear and the sound changes some as I push the clutch. It also fights a little when I run through the gears.

Stock clutch and cable.

I'm thinking throw out bearing. Any other ideas? Clutch cable? Quadrant? Trany?

My first inclination is to jack up the car and just replace the clutch, preasure plate, and TO bearing. Could it be anything else?

Thanks
