What would cause a clutch to go straight to the floor with no resistance? I need to know what springs are involved with a clutch, I've done a little research but I've never worked on/with a clutch. I still have fluid that is NOT leaking, so I'm 98% sure a spring busted somewhere.

well there are a few things...
master cylinder or slave cylinder can stop working if there is an internal leak, or an external leak, usually at seal.
but you said there is no fluid leaking.
uh... the reservoir that holds the fluid could be lower than the hose that goes to the clutch m. cylinder so you could try filling it up, then see if its a little springy.
if it seems springy or spongy. bleed it out. (gets the air in the line out)
only other thing i can think of is that the clutch release lever is broke
hope this helps.

First check to make sure that the clutch slave cylinder has not gone bad. Its located on the side of the transmission. If you have actuation of the lever then you need to look into clutch replacement if there is no adjustment procedures for the shaft movement
Check the fluid levels as well, sounds like a hydraulic failure, maybe a pressure plate or something.

The slave cylinder can bypass fluid and that will give the indication you have. Ask yourself, how many mile and how many years are on this thing. "O" rings normally will fail around 10 years.
