Name that problem!

I was delivering in the 84 mk2 the other day when there was a loud snap and the clutch pedal fell to the floor. That was the only noise, I popped it into neutral and coasted it to a parking lot with no problem. I figured it was a broken clutch cable but when I removed the cable yesterday, it was fine. The little tube that goes from the firewall into the engine bay that holds the cable in place had snapped it's weld, but it looks like that happened awhile ago. I replaced the clutch cable with a different one and tried to remove as much freeplay as possible, but the pedal stills goes down halfway before meeting only slight resistance. The clutch lever on the tranny does move it's seemingly full range of motion. I haven't been able to start it and see what happens as for whatever reason the starter has decided it doesn't want to do anything. 
 
Might as well ask about the starter too, now that I think about it. Car gets full power, idiot lights come on like when you have the key in run but the car isn't running. In the start position, there is a clicking sound that sounds exactly like when you have a blinker on. Starter doesn't even try. Absolute zip from it, and it was fine before the clutch died. I tried whacking on the starter but that didn't do anything. All I can think of is maybe I knocked something while trying to get the clutch cable to attach to the clutch?
 
Assuming problem #1 is due to a clutch assembly failure, can I pull the clutch off my FF tranny and swap the whole assembly in? This car isn't worth a new clutch, but I was wondering if there was any 1 time use bits.
 
TIA,
Dan
