Default Clutch not working

Hey all! as you can see, i am new here. i am a bit mechanically inclined so i thought i would ask this question before it gets sent to the mechanic. I have a 98 eclipse rs 5spd. driving it home last night, i pushed in the clutch to shift and heard a click...now i have no clutch whatsoever. had been working fine, no problems. when my bro pushes in the clutch, i can see it move on the far side of the tranny...whatcha all think? thanks for the help.

Check your fluid levels. Fill it up and look for leaks in the lines. Your master cyl could be gone.

fluids are full, is the master cylinder hard to replace or expensive? Would that create that click noise I heard?

Im not too sure. You could have broken something in the mechanism. I would trace it from the pedal to the clutch very carefully.
