what happened to my clutch?!

i was driving my GTU today and i was crusing along. soon, i heard something fall out (i think, might not be related). so, later, the clutch wont hold. it started ok, and got much worse. now i can only got 35 mph. it only holds at like 3k rpm. is it my clutch? pressure plate? clutch cylinder? what do u think? it was sudden...

i sure can. i was out driving the car arond and then i felt my clutch starting to slip. it got worse and worse and now it wont hold beyond 3000 rpm. so the fastest it will go with the litte bit of clutch still left is 35 mph. ive ordered a stage I centerforce clutch and clutch tool for a measly $200. i think i got a deal! it should be in monday.
