Burning smell and low power

So Just today i went to drive my 8 and I have no power and a burning smell. it takes up to 8,000rpm to get going.... Also i noticed my car will not stall if the clutch is not pressed in. Im thinking its a burnt clutch or its stuck any suggestions? thanks

Sounds to me your clutch isn't disengaging all the way. The burning smell is your clutch and or tranny. Think of it as driving with the clutch pressed halfway in.

Get it fixed before it needs complete replacement.
