Default 95 GT Needs Help!!!

Was accelerating in first gear going to throw it into second, car is a 5.0 with 17k put into car, supercharged etc... Anyway. Missed second gaer when shifting, clutch had been acting wierd, end of which it got stuck in neutral.. wouldn't go anywhere couldn't change gears... then I shut my car off, turned it back on.. put it in first, and it revved up to 3k rpm in third hardly went anywhere... slight smoke came into the car... car doesn't shut off even when in gear and clutch isnt' pressed.. any help is well appreciated.. Think I need to replace the clutch.

Yea sounds like the clutch cable.

But it also sounds like you might have burnt your clutch disc up, if you revved it to 3K and it barely went. Man it was riding the sh*t out of the clutch. Especially when you said smoke came into the car, that sounds like you were smoking the hell out of the clutch.
