$30.00!
Yep, you broke the clutch fork. I did this too.
I tried "adjusting" the clutch cable. I presume I tighted the nut too far, this was B PP (Before PelicanParts). I drove to work. Then leaving work (Friday - it always happens on either Friday's or Sunday). I jumped in the car. Pushed in the clutch. BAMM!!!
The pedal went about 1/2 way to the floor with no resistance. Drove it in 2nd gear. You can kill the engine at stop lights, and start it in 2nd gear, you get some jerking when starting then you can drive. BEWARE: you can kill the starter. Hopefully you can time your lights right so you hit them when they are green.
Anyways, I dropped it off at the mechanic, and he said this happens somewhat to the older cars. The heat cold thing. the clutch fork cracks on the shaft part, not on the fork part as you might expect.
I ended up getting all my updates (cyl. Head Temp, and new clutch, PP, TO) at the same time = $1300.00 (ouch).
Well, the bad thing is you need to drop and seperate the engine/tranny. The good thing, the part can be had for ~$15.00.
Good Luck.
I hope it is this, or something easier!
