While this may seem like a funny question… what happens with the oil pressure when you push the clutch in… does it drop like a rock? what you discribe sounds like the engine has spit the thrust washers. Try this with the car running and the hood up have someone press the clutch pedal down while you watch the bottom pulley on the engine if it moves forward when the clutch is depressed you have a thrust washer problem. If you find this to be the case do not start or drive the car, the more you run it the more it can eat up the crank.
