    umm... maybe the pressure plate? a buddy a mine had a problem like that and it was the pressure plate.. but that was in a truck so it might be somethin else

          Leak in the system, air in the system, master cylinder, throwout bearing, pressure plate.

                  sorry to bring back a old tread guys but i still dont know exactly whats wrong. i dont have money to spend on parts that might fix the problem. the clutch peddle has a little pressure, its on on the floor its like an inch above it, and for that inch ( until it hits the floor ) it has pressure. now im pretty sure its the mastyer cylinder or the slave. but dont know how to check. which one shuld i get first?
                  thanks guys

                    why don't you pull the pedal up with ur feet or hand? It usually pops right back into position....

                      Yes, but it usually will just stick back down the next time you press it when there's a problem [img]smile.gif[/img]
