Sounds like the clutch hydraulics are shot.

I'd second that. Either the clutch master or slave have probaby gone out. If you replace one, replace them both. If just one is replaced the other one almost always fail shortly after. Replace the rubber line while you're at it as well.

If there's no visible coolant by the master I think you should be able to get by on a rebuild kit for the slave if it isn't scored/rusted/pitted.

 

Probably a new line as well.

Sounds like you're out of hydrolic fluid (brake fluid/DOT3 in this case) or you have air in the lines or a major leak. Fix any leak you can find, fill and completely bleed your lines and master/slave cylinder. If there are any leaks in the line, just replace it. You may want to consider rebuilding the master/slave cylinder. You don't always have to replace them.

If the aboved mentioned items check out fine it may be your pressure plate. My Z32TT did the same thing you are explaining. The pressure plate had some bent fingers where the T.O. bearing rides, and did not have enough force to allow the clutch to release.
