Rx-7 barely moves... =/

I have a 2nd Gen 1988 Rx-7
I started my car 4days ago and i realize that it has dropped in power when going to school. then 2 days later it would barely move.

I Press on the Gas and my car barely moves at all. At 5-6RPM going at 20 Mph it moves like it is on 2-5mph.

my car also has a bad smell to it after i try to drive it. not gasoline or car smoke.
cant describe it.

I looked through the internet cannot seem to find anything on it. or it is just me.
please help.

can if anyone has the faceplate for the audio and air condition pair i would like to buy. (the faceplate that goes all the way around from top on air condtioner to the stick or that little tray by the shifting gear box.) or any site that has it for sale
been through the internet and junk yards can't find one that is full the mazda dealer never called me back if they had it. i went back they told me order again never got a call again.


Thanks for the help if there is any. really apperciate it.

You need a new clutch. Make sure to replace your pilot and throwout bearings, and get your flywheel resurfaced.
