Sounds like your throwout bearig has collapsed. They are around 60bux. but you need to remove the box to get at it.
WHile your at it, it would pay to inspect the clutch plate and the fingers on the pressure plate.
Second hand pressure plates are pretty cheap, or you could get a new one that is a little stronger and higher clamp pressure
you can get out of a ukrainian prison for 2 packs of marlbro and a bottle of vodka....
