what did i do?

well just got the headers in and was driving around testing them and i turned onto a back road and floored it (shifting hard etc) and when i went from 2nd to third the gear shifter jammed and wouldnt go into any gear and the clutch pedal wouldnt come up again. so i slowed down and stopped and then i noticed the clutch pedal is completely loose it doesnt catch anything when i push it down and just stays down. the car does start but wont go into any gear. what do you guys think?

No resistance at the clutch usually means no pressure in the clutch lines doesn't it? I remember people were having the dropped clutch problem after regreaseing their slave cylinder. Let me look for that to see if it helps you any.

And the shifter adapter shouldn't cause a clutch issue like the hard shifting would.

EDIT: Looks like the dead pedal was from reinstalling the slave cylinder and probably not related to your situation.
