Hello,
Obviously, the clutch cable has cut into two. The clutch cable needs to be replaced. Have the clutch cable replaced and everything is going to be alright.
Good luck.
First thing that should be checked is the clutch fluid. Check if you need to add or for leaks in the line. There might be air in the system that needs to be bleed especially if there are replaced parts or the oil was replaced.
This could also be a problem with the clutch master (found at the opposite side of the clutch inside the engine bay where the oil is placed) or the clutch slave cylinder (attached to the transmission).
Below is the links on how to replace them. Copy and paste the link on you browser.

Normally it is the clutch master that causes the issue but at times the slave cylinder may be affected as well. Make sure to have them bled after replacing.

Thanks, this is what the service dept. told me. They also said that the clutch itself may be damaged. That does not seem to be likely. What do you think?
The dealer says the clutch save cylinder failed, and the brake master cylinder also. I don't understand how the brakes could still operate, though.
I think it is difficult to diagnose a problem on-line. Although the answers I received we're somewhat helpful, I don't think the real problem was addressed. Maybe I asked the wrong questions. So thanks for your sincere efforts, but I now have to accept what the dealer has said and am picking my car up today. Maybe the mechanic can explain it to me.
