I was driving my car late last night when i was at a stop i shift into first (automatic) i decided to give it a bit of gas not full throttle and then i aggressively shifted into second unsure when i heard a loud BANG my car started to splutter and lose throttle and the Check engine light came on. I pulled over and the car sputtered and died so i went to investigate and didn't see any oil or fluid leaking from underneath but i smelt a burning of some sort maybe clutch? After i pushed it home i tried to turn it on the engine light went away but it now has some sort of lumpy idle like BRAP 1 second BRAP 1 second this happens in neutral drive reverse and first gear anyone have suggestions or theory i am thinking a blown gearbox? but would that cause the weird lumpy issue thanks. 

TLDR shifted aggressively in an auto heard a bang now car is lumpy in gears and idle

Doesn't really  matter what's  not working, because there's no way you would be able to fix it based on that assessment.

 

An auto gearbox won't make a clutch smell.

 

Does it move under its own power?

Blew intercooler hose off. Most of the way off, still nearly closed.

that's my bet too.

but I can't say I understand what happened to cause it from the description

Thanks for quick reply's really does mean alot. It does move in all gears reverse etc... it just "braps" so it kind of just hops along and won't drive smoothly.  Sorry for the description i wrote in in a hurry pretty bummed right now because of what happened. All i heard was a loud bang and the car just sort of died. I will check the intercooler piping Tomorrow as it is pretty late and i have a long work day tomorrow.
