Is this a car you drive? Did it just happen?
Did it get that way slowly, or all at once?
Is it a stock clutch assembly?
Did you just come across the car and never driven it?

Just sitting there - or while you move the clutch pedal?

yes i drive the car on sunny days temperature 72 degrees not a cloud in the
sky, slight breeze from the west, no humidity at least according to my
exwife. have had it eleven years all orginal, stock with stock clutch. I
am second owner.Literally took a left turn going about 15 miles an hour,
going from 1st to second, pedal dropped to floor, no problems ever before.
Linkage looked good absoultley no resistance on pedal, have to pull off
floor to orginal position, step on it goes straight to floor no
resistance. thanks for your help and any info you may have.

can reach into engine bay and move by hand/ clutch pedl does nothing but
sink to floor when pushed,has no effect on linkage, thanks for your help

If the rod from the Z bar between the frame rail and engine is there,
then a return spring is broken. There are two, a big heavy one under the
dash and a lighter duty one under the hood from the Z bar to the
firewall.

ANother issue may be that the rod has pushed through the hole on the
arm/fork that works the clutch. Had this happen on my mav. I used a nut
and washer on the pointed end of the rod to distribute the force more
evenly.

thanks for the two post/replys/is the arm fork external or are you talkng
about under the clutch and flywheel cover. in other words if not return
spring will i have to pull tranny and remove flywheel cover to get to.
thanks so much for your fast reply.

The clutch pedal assembly pivots a bar that is mounted to the frame rail
and engine block. This in turn pushes a rod towards the rear (this is
where the clutch adjustment is). That rod goes into the arm of the clutch
fork, pushing on it. There is a rubber boot over the arm. That's it.

Clutch fork can be seen he

The feature at the end of the arm portion is where the rod goes.

The rod is shown here as teh clutch adjusting rod.

I've had the clutch pedal go to the floor because the cotter pin broke
and the adjusting rod fell out and because of a broken return spring
under the hood. In the later case, it just didn't come back up as far.

After I made my way back to where the adjustment rod fell out and found
it, I cobbled it to get home and since then have had a wire to tether it
to the car. If the pin ever fails again, it will dangle.

thanks so much for the help, going home now to work on it,thanks to
everyone for the followups. Pony up dudes!
