2004 R32

Was driving on the high way about 50mph in 5th gear.
Went to down shift (missed shift) ended up in 2nd.
Rpms shot up, then put it in 4th
Car would no longer accelerate
Rolled the car to a stop. Towed home.
Clutch would no longer engage. Shifts fine, but will not accelerate.

Trans completely blown?
Clutch ?

thank you for any input

What do you mean when you say the car will no longer accelerate? Does this mean the engine revs rise but the car goes nowhere or the revs will not rise? Generally when you do what you did you will see damage to the motor and usually not the driveline. If you start the motor you are not able to push in the clutch to get it into gear? Does the clutch pedal feel normal when the car is sitting with the engine off? More details are needed of the problem you are describing.
