Break Down, Help!!

Yesterday, I was ready to leave with some friends to go to a fireworks show downtown. I offered to drive the five of us. I was kind of apprehensive at first because I thought my clutch had started to go two weeks ago. Also It was the first time I had but that much weight in my car, 1992 9000 turbo hatch. I was heading up an incline and all of a sudden the clutch pedal feel was very abnormal, almost like I had to force in down when trying to take off. Starting in 1st was like trying to start in 4th. Additionally, I looked down and noticed that my shift stick was not in the center at neutral but shoved over to the side. As I tried to shift from first at a reasonable speed(2mph at 5000 rpm) a plume of smoke drifted by my face. The whole car smelled like what i thought was burnt clutch but when I tried to start again the engine would rev on its own with no help from my right foot. I just poured 420 dollars into the 9kt last week. Now I dont know what the hell is wrong with it, Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
