Just recently ive lost the pressure in my clutch pedal. When i push it in it doesnt spring back and gets stuck on the floor. after pulling it off the floor it will regain some pressure but after pushing it in a few times it will stick to the floor again. Also when i push the clutch in the car wants to stall and rpms drop dramitically.

Check for leaks and the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder. After the problem is fixed, bleed the system of air the same way you would with brakes.

yeah either you got a missive air bubble in your clutch line or you need a new master or slave cylinder...possibly both!

getting the master clutch cylinder out is a pain in the butt but all you need is a deep 10mm socket and a small extention and ratchet.....i found it much easier to take the drivers seat out and lay on my back on the floor to work at the nuts that hold it on.

Was it slightly doing this and is now completely at the floor? or did it happen suddenly?

If it started to happen slowly start looking for leaks, first check your fluid level though to make sure you even have any, then leaks. Also your slave cylinder may have gone out and when they do it sudden and you'll need a new one of those.

If it's trying to stall out when you hit the clutch, the only thing I know of that will do that is the clutch fork grinding against the pressure plate...

When you replace the master cylinder, I strongly advice you to replace the slave cylinder at the same time. They go hand in hand. If you replace the slave cylinder and not the master, now that the slave cylinder is working like new, your master may not be able to handle the pressure of the system and will fail. Majority of the guys on here replace them at the same time and also don't waste time on the cheap autozone knock offs either.
