Great running car, new timing belt...I drove this car for about 8 months when it felt as if the clutch was going out, so I figured I would drive it till it died. So I was comming to a stop light and the car didn't want to stop, the clutch was fully engaged and the car was still trying to go, then it died due to no clutch. When the light turned green I put the car in neutral depressed the clutch and turned the motor. The car started but was moving with the clutch engaged and in neutral still, so I just gunned it. What is the problem, is the pressure plate gone or what?

Most likely the disc spring broke off and is stuck between the pressure plate or flywheel and disc. If you cut cornners on this repair, you will most likely waste your money.
