Default clutch cable snapped ???

my clutch pedal on my 1990 crx si has no pressure. basically its on the floor.
I heard a snap/bang .

could it be the cable ?

I can turn the car on without pressing the clutch (cant anyways)
but cant get it into gear.

I can only get into gears with the car off.

UPDATE:
The problem was a lil plastic spacer that broke, connected to the top of the pedal assembly.

One way to find out is to pop the hood and see if the cable is still attached or just came loose..

no pressure on the clutch? Can you manually pull the lever where the cable is attached to on your tranny and see if it'll go in gear? I'm thinking the clutch fork broke or hopefully just the spring...but either way, you may have to open it up imo

My bad, I thought you had a Bseries tranny...anyway, looking at your pic, try manually tugging on the lever where your tranny is attached to...you know, pull it up and see if you're clutch will engage. If you step on the clutch pedal, does that lever move?
