    It sounds like the clutch disc is totally worn out and will require replacing and re-surfacing the flywheel. If the clutch pedal feels firm and develops good pressure the clutch hydraulics are bad. There is a possibility that something else in the drive train broke but the clutch is most likely the culprit.
