yah
my father helped me out. he's a car wiz. he cleaned out the clitch... it was a bit fried but still useable for a small period of time. turns out though that i somehow also stripped one of the gears inside the gearbox. apparently its all ****ing PLASTIC in there so now that has to be replaced.

also finally i found my car on ebay being sold be a different seller
maybe this might help one of you
