Situation: Car wont start..it seems like it wants to start but it wont, the engine even shakes when trying to start.

Cause: I was testing my car out at a str8 way with no cars around. I was in 3rd gear getting ready to shift to 4th, and all of a sudden it goes in second instead..i cant remember what exactly happened but the car just seemed liek it shut off, the power steering wouldnt work, the brakes went out, had to put it into neutral to push it off the road. Now this is thing, my clutch has always been not that good, it wont shift into 4th gear sometimes because of a bad clutch, my mechanic only bleed the clutch after i bought this car, he didnt do anything about the hard shifting.

ANY HELP will be appreciated..its urgent. I know most of yall proabbly think i blew my engine or my tranny went out but to my knowledge it doesnt seem like it did. Im guessing its the timing since when you start the car it seems like somethign is misfiring.

PLEASE HELP!! Thankyou
