Someone's missing the question - he is having transmission trouble, not brake trouble. He was referring to clutch master / slave, which an 89 MMM does not have - he replaced the clutch cable recently. Or do I have it wrong?

Maybe we're missing some info. So no acceleration - but engine revs fine? Any grinding from the drivetrain? I would be getting the rear end up off the ground and checking the gearbox and differential. No output from the gearbox = blown input/output shaft. Transfer from the gearbox to the differential but nothing to the wheels = blown differential gears.
...other option is loose pressure plate bolts (or maybe broken by now). Clutch don't work if it can't clamp against the flywheel.
Pennyman pretty much covered the issue. I am having transmission issues not brake issues.
When I was on the freeway, I was rolling pretty much in neutral after that weird sound occured. So I engaged the clutch, moved out of gear and back into gear, and attempted to accelerate and get myself out of the middle lane and move my way towards the shoulder because when the sound occured, I wasn't able to accelerate. It's as if the flywheel and clutch did not separate and I was just revving the engine.
once I was in the shoulder lane at a complete stop, I tried proceeding forward with no brake engaged but no acceleration occured. Again, in first gear, it was as if I was in neutral and just revving the engine.
I still haven't been able to get under it and see what's really going on. It's still really hot out, and I've been working a weird schedule so my free time is invested towards my wife and kids rather auto projects.
What does the gear shift lever feel like? It is sloppy or still feels like it's shifting through the gates correctly?
It's smooth from neutral to any 5 gears, but sometimes grinds going into reverse. I have to find the right timing for it not to grind.
Bump for the question on compression test for engines with mechanical fuel pump. Is there an easy way to block off fuel while turning the engine for compression testing?

Thanks, camoit! That helps.
On the starter, I see two terminals:
(1) with two wires coming to it (plastic bracket connection), and
(2) single, thick wire (looks like I can easily jump by clamping to the bolt holding it in place)
Which one do i jump to + side of the battery?
Sorry -- been looking at a wrong thing. Apparently, I can't tell alternator from a starter :-).
