Default please tell me what happened

i have a 91 si, on my way home from work i went to shift gears, and the clutch pedal dropped to the floor (like the clutch cable snapped), but i was able to shift, when i went to shift again the clutch pedal felt ok but i didnt have to use that much pressure to push it down. now when i go to take off from a complete stop the car does alot of jerking, and the clutch pedal and transmission feel loose. does anybody have any ideas?

Do these cars have hydraulic clutches?

If so, there is a slave cylinder on the firewall. Check it, it should be up to the line. If it's not, fill it with brake fluid. Sounds to me more like there was a failure in the hyrdraulic system.
