Hi Ryan, Sounds like a hydraulic problem. Could be a bad seal on the master cylinder above the clutch pedal, a bad seal on the slave cylinder on top of the transmission, or a hole in the line between the two. No resistance suggests that the fluid has leaked out... check the driveway for traces of leakage to determine which end to start at.
