Bad clutch, what can happen if you keep driving it?

i drive a 1996 ford mustang v6 stick. the clutch is garbage now, all my gears slip. when i put it in gear it revs high but barely accelerates. 5th gear doesnt really work now, just revs. going up a hill makes it rev high to. so ive asked if it was the clutch or transmission and the answers on here say i need a new clutch. awesome cause im broke. my new question is what happens if i keep driving it, can i screw up the transmission? what problems can happen if i keep driving it?

You can burn up and ruin the fly wheel too and then add on about $300 more for the repairs. The heat fractures will be too deep to resurface it.

If it is slipping that much your clutch is already gone. All it will do at this point is leave you stranded when the rest of the friction pads detonate. There are ways to nurse along a bad clutch, but from what you are describing it is way beyond nursing. It's in critical care waiting for the end.

You'll end up with no friction - and you'll go nowhere


None
will slip, burn more, ruin flywheel

then it all flys apart and jams up!

You will sooner or later strip some gears and then its going to cost you some serious bucks.
