struggling. Now I was driving it & it wont go

my brother's mini coopers S had a similar problem when I was driving it. When it happened, I thought there was no way i could have burnt out the clutch in 15 minutes of city driving. And my brother is going to kill me. We took it his friends shop that night. It turned out to be a recently replaced axle that connects the transmission to the wheels. One was broken. I don't know how that happened. FYI, are two of them. You should check those if every gear acts like neutral. PS. my driving privileges have been revoked. LOL.
