Todays problem:
Strange occurences with the talon. clutch felt like it was slipping at first (but no burning smell), clutch pedal developed a strange feeling like the clutch would engage/disengage with very little pedal push, could not give car any power without the revs shooting up and car (seemingly) losing grip of clutch. Then it began to stall at idle and tryed to restart it to keep going until i pulled over and then it wouldnt start. checked the spark plug for spark and there was none (could be a separate problem maybe plug wires-doubted). Any ideas?

Could be crankwalk but doesnt really sound like it. my car had crank walk and I didnt lose the clutch like you are describing. I would check your clutch fluid and make sure the line didnt get punchured and let all the fluid out. But the not starting and struggling at idle sounds like something different.
