Open the hood, have a confederate push the clutch pedal in and out. You look for the thing at the end of the engine shaped like a large bell. This connects the engine to the transmission and has all the clutch stuff inside. At some point on its side there will be a rubber boot with a lever coming out from it. That lever is pushed back and forth by a piston which is inside a slave cylinder, and that is operated by the clutch pedal. So if you see no movement of the lever whilst your pal is moving the pedal in and out most likely your problem lies with the hydraulic clutch, either at the master or slave end. This is a good thing as it does not require removing the engine and replacing all the stuff inside the bell housing. You buy a new hydraulic clutch system pre-bled, about 200 bucks and pay someone to put it in. The car is 16 years old however and if the little lever is moving you are at the point where your only real choice is to pay someone to replace all the clutch stuff and resurface the flywheel. That will be much more and may well exceed the value of the car.
