I have a 1985 SE V6 wiht a 4 speed manual tranny. I was driving the other day and went to take off and I had nothing but blue smoke and a bad smell come from the rearend. The car would not move in any gear at all. When I try and take off the car just revs up and doesn't move. Is it the Clutch or did the Tranny go out? Thanks for the help.

Been there...

I've got a 2.5L 4 speed manual. Last summer about a month after I got mine my clutch took a dump.

Coming to an intersection I pushed in and held the clutch, put the tranny into 1st just as I was rolling probably going less than 5 mph. The car jerked as if I had let out of the clutch. As I let out on the clutch to get the car going again from a stop, weird noises were coming from behind my seat and a real funky smell was telling me ut oh. I had the same thing, I could put the car in all the gears but no go, just vroom vroom.

Well, sorry for the story of one of my DNF's, I'd say you will need a new clutch, throwout bearing, etc.
