I was driving along and I lost ability to accelerate as I changed gear and could not get the car back into gear. I could smell something burning? Possibly smell if a clutch burning? I am unable to now get can into gear at all.

It seemed to not be boosting/accelerating as well as it usually does before it happened.

Would you be able to help tell if it would be the clutch or if it is the gearbox?

Car is also modified.

Thanks

See if it will shift into gear with engine off then check to see if clutch is pushing in, you will need an assistant as it can be a hydraulic problem or clutch. If check clutch master. If you see it working and it shifts to different gears with engine off clutch is probably the culprit. Especially since you smelled burning.
