It sounds like the clutch needs adjusting, or maybe one of the clutch arms is cracked or broken. Remove the inspection cover from the clutch housing top and see how much the throwout bearing moves forward when you push the clutch pedal to the floor. The clutch should have about 1" freeplay, then start pushing the T/O brng forward.
