strange that there were no signs of slippage before failure - could it be driveshaft related? I once had an old nissan which was exactly as you desribed - simply no drive - pedal felt fine, no noise from gearbox, engine sounds fine just no drive - was a snapped driveshaft.

Does it feel like it is actually selecting a gear (resistance in lever action etc.)? If it is getting a gear, the clutch pedal feels normal and still no drive then either:

The clutch is completely gone. I have never heard of one like this, normally they slip loads first.

Or

A shaft is broken in the trans - not good.

Either way you will have to remove the clutch housing to see what is going on - quite an easy job.
