The clutch is hydraulic,and uses brake fluid.More than likely either the clutch master cylinder,or the clutch slave cylinder is no good.I'm in the aftermarket transmission repair industry,and the general rule of thumb is,if replacing one,replace both (master and slave cylinders).Check the reservoir for the clutch hydraulics,and if it is low or empty,the system has a leak.Inspect all the lines and rubber hoses too.It is still possible that their is a mechanical problem with the clutch pressure plate,but i would look at the hydraulics before removing the trans.The clutch pedal is also adjustable,after the problem is resolved.

Ford Ranger PX clutch pedal falls to the floor when towing then returns to normal after a couple of days when not towing.
One of two things is wrong with your truck. Either the hydraulic clutch has a worn component that needs to be replaced or the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced. If this failure only occurs while towing. I suspect the clutch is slipping, heat from the pressure plate is heating the fluid inside the hydraulic clutch and causing it to drop to the floor. Some diagnostics is needed to confirm.

1996 nissan maxima clutch squeals pedal stuck to floor
Sound like you're going to need a whole new clutch assembly, but if the fluid level was dry you may have sucked air into the system which means that the clutch will have to be bled at the slave cylinder, just like you would brakes. The squealing sound is coming from the throw out bearing, usually when the do that it means that the bearing is frozen and cannot spin. Either way it looks like you'll be dropping the transmission to work on the clutch.

I just bought an 01 alero and on the way home i went to downshift from 5th to 4th and the clutch pedal basically fell to the floor with very little effort and stuck there,, it shifted perfectly fine up...
It's usually the clutch master or slave cylinder that is bad when the pedal drops to the floor suddenly. Check both to see which one is leaking fluid and that's your bad one.
