Tim, it could be slop in the clutch pedal pivot point or in the pin
that connects the clutch pedal to the master cylinder.  Loose or
bunched carpet could be preventing full action.  Check that the
slave cylinder is bolted down tightly.  And most common, has the
pivot pin for the throwout bearing housing sheared?   Or it could
be any combination of the above.

Good luck
