Last night driving and it started vibrating on accelerating then i go to down shift and the clutch pedal hits the floor and stays there:cry: no pressure at all i got it to stay in 5th to make it home, i check it out this morning and i can move the clutch fork with my fingers in its full motion. i can also move the clutch fork pin in and out with my fingers. so how much stuff did i break this time? bad pressure plate and mc or sc? clutch was good and tight before this happened. any ideas?

No telling until you rip it down. Your TOB is certainly gone if you've got as much movement in the fork as you're saying. Could just be a bad TOB, reason you couldn't shift is because the fork was not able to apply pressure to the FUBARed TOB and disengage the clutch. Could be bad. Could be relatively minor. Keep us updated
 
Ended up needing a new clutch kit . The clutch disk had springs pop out and was broken(cracked) in some areas.
