Exclamation Is this a clutch issue or is my gearbox gone, ?

Recently whilst driving my RX8 pretty hard i smelt that awful smell of burning clutch then the gears stopped working, (every gear is like been in neutral) it starts perfect, ticks over perfect but like I say when I put it into gear to drive the just no traction at all,

Is this a clutch issue or is my gearbox gone,

Thanks for any answers

If it smells like the clutch and it feels like the clutch.. it's the clutch.

It's the clutch Go0se. Or, rather, yours is shot. May it RIP
