I have replaced the plugs and wires and it did not change the condition. What can i do to fix this issue??

When it would go into gear, it wouldn't go past 40. And now the end result is stuck in neutral. I can freely move around the shifter with car in and off with and without the clutch. But nothing happened. Is it the master or slave cylinder or the linkage?

The engine runs fine but when i put it in gear it has a bad slow acceleration, and little to no power through any gear i put it in. and if i try to push the pedal to the floor it acts like there is nothing there and the RPM gauge redlines and the car revs high but the car doesnt move. It doesnt jerk or anything. i dont have a problem getting it in gear but was told it could be the clutch or slave cylinder. Ive checked the air filter and even removed it and took it for a drive and still same thing. check engine light is on but says that a O2 is bad.

Update (04/29/2017)

its a manual
