First things, first. Check the clutch fluid. It's probably empty, which would account for the pedal going to the floor without resistance. Sounds like a hydraulic fluid leak, possibly spraying on something hot which would account for the smoke. You may have a combination of problems, but this is a place to start. If the fluid is low, fill the reservoir and check for leaks in the line going to the slave cylinder. Loren SW Washington

Then, it sounds like an internal clutch problem. Possible disc or pressure plate failure. Loren SW Washington

The labor to replace the clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing is 5.1 hrs per Mitchell. Does not include resurfacing the flywheel. Loren SW Washington
