Or maybe your clutch cable just snapped. But they rarely do ...
They will snap the cable with age &/or if the transaxle's ground strap or lugs are bad connections or missing. Either way, it's not an easy on-the-road fix.
Anthony, you can drive your 914 short distances with minimal stops by putting it into 2nd or 3rd gear with the engine off, then start the motor (it will buck until up to speed, & then cruise in that gear until you must stop again (some folks will blip the gas & try to shift up, but that can grind the synchros, so I wouldn't).
PS - I'd done that a few times in the decade & 132k miles that mine was my DD, so they do snap clutch cables sometimes, & you can get to a shop if close enough with that start-in-gear technique. When my clutch tube broke loose, it was more a matter of a sloppy & only partially disengaging clutch - rather than complete loss, although mine didn't completely break free & run out the back of the firewall (& it is an in the shop fix for the tube also).
If you're close to your shop, then try that, otherwise wait for the tow service, & hopefully you've asked for a flatbed, so that your front valance or spoiler won't get buggered up. Take pix of the car's condition before the tow for your records, in case of any damage by the tow.
Good Luck!
Tom
