Is the clutch bad it wont grab gears

Hello ladies and gents. Today we gathered to go off road with a bunch of buds. A few hours in after testing my cars limits (mud pits and all) i started smelling some wretched odor. (has happened once before previous off road trip) so i got the car pulled out and noticed the car would no longer require the clutch to fall into gear. after driving it towards the exit we pulled over at a picnic area to eat. after restarting our journey to leave the car would no longer grab gears and i was able to shift on between first, second and third freely (car is a three speed) I checked to make sure car was not stuck on neutral even tried 4h 4l 2h. tried with and without wheels locked as well. i believe my clutch finally went bad, but was just curious if anyone else has had this problem occur and have they found a solution?

cheers! and thank you
