basically what everone is saying is when your car needed more rpms your clutch was slipping drastically ( a tell-tale sign that you need a new clutch) and then it finally went out

So go out and buy a new clutch, you might want to go aftermarket while you're at it and also replace your throw-out bearing, its better to do so than re-use the stock one.

If you didn't even know that it was your clutch that had gone bad, I definitely wouldn't tackle the job on your own.
