Default Need Help....WHAT HAPPENED!?!

Ok, so I am driving off the expressway in my 1998 GT and i push down on the clutch and all of a sudden it I hear a pop and it goes all the way down to the floor. After the pop, the car wouldn't go into gear unless it was shut off. I could press down the clutch, but it was stuck in neutral when the car was turned on. The clutch does feel like it is easier to press. I am not sure what happened but if someone has any ideas, it would be great if you could help out. Thanks.

i dunno when the car is off you dont need to push in the clutch to change gears maybe your clutch cable snapped i have never ever heard of that before that would be crazy if it did well hope it is only that becuase its cheaper than a whole new clutch

Thanks for the fast reply, hopefully I will get it back to my house tomorrow and check it out. I bought the car 2 weeks ago, hopefully this isn't a trend.
