Driving with the Ebrake...

I drove my friends car and he wants to know what the problem was. so i drove it and heard a clanking noise when i reached 3k rpm in first and second. I think it is the flywheel not gripping the clutch? is this incorrect. also i let my friend drive it so i could teach him how to drive manual( the car is realy his aunts) but he left the ebrake on the whole time by accident. the rear brakes were SMOKING like ****. you think i would need just new pads or new shoes, what?

Does the noise continue and you keep revving or is it just once? I'm no expert but you could check the g/b and diff mounts.

If the clutch wasn't holding the flywheel, when you gave it more revs it wouldn't accelerate any faster, as if you were riding the clutch.
