Transmission Clutch Issue

Ok here is what I have, a 2007 with about 113k miles.

The other day I was going to work about a 30 minute drive. About 10 minutes away the clutch would make a squealing noise when letting out in first gear and third gear. Almost like a chair being drug across a wood floor. It would last about 3 seconds then be fine.

So on my way home it did the same noise almost instantly after leaving work. Then about 10 minutes away it would make the same noise once i was ALREADY in gear. So if i was in first and gave it too much gas it would make that sound. It did it in 3rd and 5th also.

Finally once I turned in drive the clutch went to the floor and there was no resistance. I also smelled what seemed to be burnt brake fluid. I checked reservoir it was full and no signs of leaks at either master or slave cylinder.

Now the next day I checked it in the drive way and I could still shift into all gears and take off without any noticeable signs of noises but this was just in the driveway. The clutch has no resistance barely but does shift without grinding.

Anyone help point me in the right direction? Throw out bearing? Clutch or clutch plates?

Thanks
