Default am i screwed?

car usually runs on 93 and mid grade..but just about an hour ago i put regular gas in the sol now it's running shitty as hell and by that i mean 1st and 2nd gear are almost impossible to go into. the car was running fine before i did that so i'm wondering if it's the clutch or just the car reacting to the shitty gas?

I hope that is a joke.

Bad or lower octane gas isn't going to effect whether your transmission will go into gear or not; it's just a coincidence. Check the clutch reservoir fluid level, and see if it's leaking somewhere.

another idea is to put a octane booster in it.

The transmission gears could be bad; or the syncros could be damaged.
