Default F'ed my Clutch Up

So i was driving around tonight, and i was doing 45 mph, and started to slow down. I was gonna downshift, so i pushed the clutch in and pulled the car out of 5th, and all of the sudden i felt a pop in the pedal. I noticed my pedal was not as tight as it normally was, so instantly i thought i no longer was in control of the clutch. I couldn't get the car in any gear since the clutch wasn't disengaging. When i was stopping at a red light, i got my car in first, but, as soon as i came to a stop the car stalled out! I now can't get the car started. At first nothing would happen when i turned the ignition. But i left the car sitting for a few hours and came back, now i can hear the starter whining, but nothing is happening.

Did i kill a master or slave cylinder. Or did i blow the clutch release bearing??

BTW the car is a 99 Civic SI. Thanks in advance!!!!!!

pop the hood and locate the rubber casing on your tranny. thats where u can feel any movement when pressing the clutch in. if u dont feel anything than its probably a cylinder if u do feel some movement then it might be the bearing

Took my car to a shop. Said the two clutch plates pretty much fused together when my performance clutch fell apart. They said they don't know what happened. I had a factory clutch put in. I hate it! Anyway to tighten this or adjust it, because it catches REALLY high. A bit annoying!
