When the gears break, sometimes the car will still move, sometimes it won't.
It will make a lot of noise, a clunking sound or loud tapping.
Here are 3 pinion gears that my brother has gone through (he is on his 11th set of gears now)
I tossed out the latest pinion gear that had 1/2 of the teeth wiped out, should have taken a pic of that one.

Man those gears are pretty!!! Mine when I pulled them was more like the 1/2 gone one you referred to!!!
Mine was from beating on a 13 year old stock rear end though. I snapped a couple teeth off, but being a newB had no clue what I was listening to. Drove it about 30 minutes back to where I live, and about 5 minutes away, POP... CRACK!!! Snapped about half of the teeth off, and right as I came to a stop, the rear locked up. It makes a hellacious noise, even with one tooth missing. Something I will never ever forget.
