Take a video like this.

Get up to about 30-35mph.

Put it in 3rd gear and let the clutch pedal go with zero acceleration.

After the clutch is fully let go...

SLAM the gas down and hold it there as if you're trying to accelerate hard.

Let's see what the RPM's and speedometer do.

Default Update*

Tried taking the s2k out to do another video and it lost all power I could nearly make it home only first gear was working 2nd gear not engaging, when I would try and shift it to 2nd I would have no power, I try and down shift to 1st no power, hazard lights on I put it in reverse and it catches I put it back to first and it drives. I come to a small uphill incline and struggles, slowly losing speed.

Don't test-drive it anymore. You may be causing more wear on the flywheel and pressure plate. Get it to a qualified mechanic.
