Is your clutch pedal still attached to the firewall? If not, that's probably the problem.

I'd be very concerned about load poping from my cluth.

sounds like something serious broke under there. How many miles are on it? Looks like it is time for a new clutch.

I think your cluth needs a digital inspection.

Hah... that sort of happened to my Miata. Clutch master cylinder gave out. Managed to get it to the dealership by filling up the reservoir. It didn't spray everywhere.

An easy thing to check... if it's not the pedal.
