Check your lines for leaks. look for fluid coming from the hard line just above the transmission. Have someone pull the pedal up and then press it back down while you look for a leak.

Look at the banjo fittings, they might be tight, but still could be leaking. I had the same issue last winter time, couldnt tell till someone was pressing in the clutch only to see it literally dripping out under pressure. Went and bought some line from advance, and a small pipe bender also and did it in the motel parking lot. $10.00 fix.
my symptoms were.
clutch pedal would go down, and not come all the way back up, (after 3/4 of the way my toe would have to pull it the rest) then after a while the engagement points got lower and lower and lower till finally the pedal was on the floor and the car wouldnt go into a gear without wanting to move.

Ok, just fixed mine a similar replacement i got from advanced auto parts however,
you have to bend it carefully to replicate oem.
I oredered a supposed to be better lower clutch line from AMS chicago.
