(sorry if in wrong forum )Ok, heres my problem, the other day i was at some huge parking lot, and im like hell, lets do a burnout ( first time ) i rev it up to 5k and drop the clutch, nothing happens, no wheelspin or nothing. It feels like im slowing lettting it go , even though im really dropping it. My input shaft bearing was broken before i even did the burnout, and my tires are on the wrong way, could these 2 things be the problem?

Tires are on the wrong way? Does that mean you have directional tires mounted back wards>?

If the the tranny was bad , with a input shaft going out , why did u try a burn out , How do you know that your input shaft is going out

when its in neutral, and idling, you can hear this spinning noise ( pretty loud ) when you ingage the clutch fully, the sound completely disappears, people have told me its the input shaft bearing, but is this the reason my car doesnt peel out when i drop the clutch at 5k ?

If you're revving your **** to 5 grand and dumping the clutch and your car is not peeling out like its on fire. Something has defnatly gone wrong.

Do tests and see if the clutch itself is good.

at 20mph put your car is 5th and stomp on the gas, if the needle hits redline, your clutch is dieing on you.

If not than you got bigger problems buddie, break your wallet.
