Bleed/change the clutch hydraulic fluid and make sure it isn't leaking. After that make sure the pedal is adjusted properly. This is a lot easier than dissassembly, and should probably be done on your car anyway.

When they press the pedal you should see the clutch fork move..If not,then it is a Hydraulic issue.
IF the Clutch does move,then it is a transmission issue.
Do what I mentoned First,so it will save you from ripping the trans out of the car,less work.

thank you for clearing things up for me, yes the hydros are working fine i can see the slave pushing the fork witch would lead me to believe that the clutch is bad-------- the only thing that i dont get is how there is no noise, i would think if the disc is completely gone shouldnt there be some type of a metal to metal noise, keep in mind this car has 190k on it, appears to be the original motor and trans.
Wait, how is this a hydraulic issue? The trans appears to go into gear fine but the car doesn't move forward. Unless the hydraulics are stuck in the pressed-in state yet still allowing movement of the pedal. This has to be a blown clutch or I am really missing something.
