Exclamation Tranny, clutch or cylinder?!? HELP!

HELP PLEASE !! so a couple days ago i got into my baby(rx7) and i knowticed my clutch pedal went all the way to the floor ! so i open the hood and the reservoir is empty, so i fill it up then as i was driving down the road and i heard a loud clank coming for under my car, a couple miles down i had trouble shifting into gears then very close to home(lucky me) everytime i pressed the clutch there was a loud screechin noise and it didnt want to go into gears=/, now to my understanding when u press the clutch its supposed to releave preasure from the motor right ? well when i press the clutch i hear that screeching noise comin from where my tranny/clutch area is and my idle drops down to the point where it almost stalls so its doing the oposite ! now it wont go into gears but if its off and its turned on while into a gear it will start but will stall unless the gas pedal is slightly pressed and will move.Can someone please me me? am not sure if its the clutch or could it be the slave or master cylinder ?? Thanks

Time for a new clutch hydraulic master, slave & hose.
The other symtoms are probably just the result of the clutch not completely releasing.

If money is tight, start with the master cylinder.

Could it be the part you replaced it with? I replaced my friends master and slave last week who had the same problem but we used the plunger from the old one because the one from the parts store didnt have the nipple on the end of it. I assumed it was important so we cleaned it up and put it on the new one.
Also, where in Florida are you located?
