I had this problem. For me the pressure plate was sticking and broke the linkage. Take it to the dealer for replacement.

Would the clutch pedal going to the floor and staying on the floor be just the clutch going out or what could it be if so and how do you replace the clutch on a 2001 Maxima?
You should not attempt to replace the clutch yourself unless you
have considerable mechanical skills. In this case, the problem is
most likely that the spring holding the clutch pedal in place is
broken.

How do you know if your clutch is no good?
A major indicator would be when you push the clutch in, you
can't shift your transmission. Another one would be when you push
the clutch pedal, it just goes straight to the floor with no
resistance, or it doesn't push in at all.

Why would the clutch pedal go to the floor in a 1994 ford escort?
The clutch IS supposed to go to the floor. Do you mean why
doesn't it release the transmission from the engine. It probably
needs to have air bled from the master cylinder and the slave
cylinder.

obviously you have a clutch line or slave cylinder leak.

Clutch slave cylinder is leaking fluid or the connector rod or
cable from the clutch pedal is disconnected or broken. Depends on
the make and model of the vehicle to know the exact setup of your
clutch.

Asked in Clutches and Flywheels
How does a clutch break work?
If a truck has a clutch brake it would only be used when coming
to a complete stop. By pushing the clutch peddle completely to the
floor you would apply the clutch brake. This stops the clutch disc
from spinning making it easier to shift into 1st or reverse gear.
Normal shifting while driving you would not need to or want to push
the clutch peddle to the floor to activate the clutch brake.

Asked in Clutches and Flywheels, VW Golf GTI, Ford F-350
Why would the clutch pedal on a 1988 Ford F-350 stay on the floor so you cannot shift into any gear?
Pre 1997/9 models of Ford Vehicles were self-adjusting via the
clutch-foot-pedal. The pedal engages a ratchet system called the
QUADRANT & PAWL and is part of the pedal. The mechanism is very
similar on older Ford models of: Escort, Fiesta, Sierra, Granada,
Transit & others. Newer vehicles may have a Hydraulic Clutch
from 1997/9 onwards, and these work differently from the cable
& pully mechanism. Clutch-fluid can be bled to improve the
ability to operate the clutch, however this is not necessarily a
method of adjusting the clutch.
If your reading this article because you have a broken
clutch-pedal then please read on.
If when pressing the foot-pedal it feels like cable is broken,
or pedal is loose, ...This is symptomatic of failure of the
QUADRANT & PAWL 'ratchet' mechanism due to wear of teeth on the
ratchet.
In some cases the pedal fails to pull the clutch out far enough
to change gear, and may make a 'springing noise'. This is due to
slippage on some worn ratchet-teeth, but the mechanism has not
reached full failure. There are 2 ways to remedy the fault.
1. Change the Quadrant & Pawl, using only genuine Ford
parts. #Beware of inferior mouldings that are not up to standard
e.g. too soft, and do not trust 'pattern-parts' on eBay etc.
2. SHORTEN THE CABLE.
Disconnect SPRING ON THE FOOT-PEDAL to release ratchet
mechanism.
Clamp cable slack (engine end).

Asked in Clutches and Flywheels, Honda Civic EX
Why is your clutch pedal catching at various locations on a 95 civic?
This may be due to a faulty clutch. If the vehicle has over 70K
on the clutch it is reccomended that it be replaced. If the clutch
"slips" or takes a min before it finally engages then i would
reccomed replacing the clutch. Make sure to change the Release
Bearing and the pilot bearing as well this may also contribute to
the problem.

Asked in Car Starting Problems, Clutches and Flywheels
What have you done if you kicked something near the clutch pedal and now the engine will not turn over and how do you fix it?
The clutch has a safety switch that prevents the engine from
starting unless the clutch is depressed. If you kicked the switch
or a wire loose, this would caause a no start. Look for loose wires
or componants near the clutch pedal and reattach as needed.

It would be easier to buy a different car. You would need to
change the trans, install a wiring harness for a manual, a computer
for a manual, cut an extra hole in the firewall for the clutch
master cylinder, mount the clutch pedal ( would have to make new
brackets ), change the center console to a manual shifter, route
the manuals shift cables.......
Asked in Cars & Vehicles, Clutches and Flywheels, Ford Ranger, Hydraulics
How would you know if air is present in a hydraulic clutch linkage?
hydraulics work because fluids are considered a non-compressible
material.
therefore when you put your foot down on the clutch pedal it
pushes the hydraulic fluid pressure through the line to disengage
the clutch.
if there is air in the line the air bubble will compress (gases
ARE compressible) and you will feel a "spongy pedal" and you will
have to "pump" the clutch pedal to move that air bubble down the
hydraulic line before you get a "good" clutch
