It is one of 3 things..#1 Alternator is not putting out the proper voltage or#2 Terminals are Corroded and unable to get a good connection #3 You have a Bad BatteryThis is what you need to do... With the Car OFF, take a Multimeter and test the Battery. It should read 12.4-12.8 Volts Then start the car, if the Voltage Jumps up to 13.4-14.4 Volts then you have a Battery or Corrosion problem

may be you should make a diagnostic and you can do it in a garage or you can do it by yourself if you want to do it by yourself you need some tools and you can find some good ones here: spobd2.com

I suggest you check for fluid in the resevoir as it sounds as if the slave cylinder developed a leak and lost the fluid. Clutch forks seldom if ever break but cylinders leak and with no fluid the pedal will not return to the normal position

You said the freon was checked then the problem may be the pressure switch located on the accumulator. It may be faulty.

Check fuse box, you might have fried the radio fuse when you installed the battery incorrectly.Some radios have a fuse attached to the back of the radio chassis. You may need to take radio out and check it, good luck.

check emissions controls lines for leaks, did you clean/change distributor cap?

my 96 mustang wont go into gears what must i do my is winston

This could be many things but I would start by checking the timing belt. Sounds like it may have jumped somehow. If the engine crnks over and has fuel the only thing left is spark, and it cut off while driving so it only makes sense to look at the timing.

When the check engine light is on, the light is telling the driver the computer has found a problem that may affect performance or emissions. You should get the computer scanned for trouble codes.The smoke and fluid could be coolant or trans fluid being burned thru the cylinders.

if the fuses are good then it is the switch

try checking the vacuum hoses, they might be disconected or broken
