Default Major Problems! Need help

This started last thursday. When I pressed the clutch all the way to the floor I got a real loud metal on metal ticking sound, even notciable over traffic and my exhaust. Well I left for the weekend and come back and drove my car again, did the same thing. Then Monday it was hard to get my car started, wasnt the battery it was something in the clutch. I could play with the clutch and finally get the car started. It was kind of like the clutch wasnt releasing and the starter was jamming.

Well I went outside today and it wouldnt even turn over. I tried a few times and then it got to where I couldnt even press the clutch in with out it feeling like I was leg pressing a semi. I reached up under the dash and pressed in on the button that the clutch pedal hits to allow the car to start and it started fine.

Now without even pressing the clutch in, I get a faint ticking noise. But as soon as I set my foot on the pedal its the same loud *** ticking sound. I cant get the car in gear so Im stuck at my grilfriends house. HELP ME!

Ive been told it was the throw out bearing and that my pressure plate was cracked. Whats the real verdict and how much are we talking? I know I wont fully know till the trans is out but all the help is greatly appreciated.

First off, thanks for your service to our country

Next, what year/make/model/engine are we talking about here?

Thanks,
Dave
