Clutch pedals are suposed to go all the way to the floor , you sure you dont mean brake pedal (cus thats bad ! ) clutches should travel all the way to floor and release the "grab" of the engine about 2/3 down , this way they are more smoothly allowing shifting thru the gears and not jerking as you shift thru the gears , if clutch pedal does not start to "grab" the engines power by 2/3 off the floor and fully "grab"its power all the way up(slipping) ,and you have a hydraulic clutch (96's do) then the clutch disk may require replacement or there is a oil leak in the clutch/master/slave cylinder , look for small oil leaks from under car in area of foot pedals
clutches should be replaced as an assembly that includes , disk ,pressure plate, throwout bearing , with engine side clutch plate magnafluxed for heat cracks and any hydraulic oil leaks replaced or repaired
SOURCE: why does clutch leak off and wont go into gear 96
check clutch master cylinder sound like it is low and you have air in the hydralic system.if fluid is low check for leaks at the clutch master cylinder lines and slave cylinder line fix leaks bleed the clutch mastercylinder make sure its full of fluid when bleeding if clutch mastercylinder run dry while bleeding you have to repeat bleeding process.
