Your clutch is dead. Get it off the road immediately. A performance clutch will run you between 300 and 400 and labor will be around 300. Or, you could learn to do it yourself. It took me and a friend about 6 hours to do mine, but we kept getting up and doing other stuff. We also had to change an axle. Here is what I want you to do. Go out on a road close to home with a 45 speed limit. Put it in fifth and cruise at about 2500 rpm. Then punch it. If it shoots to redline but the speed barely increases, your clutch is on its final step. I blew mine doing an awd launch and didn't make it home. I did however smoke a GST out of the hole.
