How did your clutch "go" and you're floating gears? Is it a hydraulic problem?

I have no pressure to the pedal but I still have fluid, I want to see if I can adjust the pedal but I've never done that and I'm not sure I can

And I'm shifting without the clutch and hoping I don't have to stop, when I'm stopped in first it still wants to idle with the clutch all the way in

Find the fluid leak or bypass. Get the pedal adjustment out of your head.

More than likely fluid loss, not burned out.
