    My clutch pedal is sticking to the floor. Is my clutch going out or do I have a different problem?
    Thanks

    first check to see where its binding, often there is a nylon washer on it that may be bad and has gotten wedged in it or a broken return spring if it has one

    The clutch fluid reservoir is to the right of brake fluid reservoir up against the firewall.

    I had the same problem and it was the fluid level.Filled it,bled the air out and problem solved.

    Ok I see both of those reservoirs and are both full. Is the master or slave cylinder a big job?

    First you need to determine what is actually wrong. Could be the master has an internal failure and is bypassing fluid. Or something else. Your 'sticking to the floor' description is a bit vague. Other 'feel' or drivability issues/symptoms would be helpful.

    IF the master is needed, it's not 'hard', but it would be good to have an experienced person looking over your shoulder and walking you through it the first time you do one. Someone that has flare nut wrenches in their tool kit you can borrow too.

    Full... hmmm. No pressure or resistance could be a bad gasket inside the one or both the cylinders. Not sure whats involved with fixing or replacing the unit.

    Thanks for all yall's help.
    Driver-ability issues/symptoms are none when pedal preforms normally(not very often now), When it sticks, I depress clutch to floorboard, it will only raise back about half an inch and the clutch releases fully. To go into further detail about that, from a start in neutral, I depress clutch, place gear in 1st, start to release clutch, hold on to my butt because I start moving way before I used to(there is no ease into acceleration), I then pull the clutch pedal back up with my foot too put it back in highest position, it will not return if I don't and the problem only gets worse if I don't. I have 88,000 miles and I think all my mod are listed, although they shouldn't be messing with this. I took a good look under the dash at the pedal and spring/assembly and there is a lot of yellow-white oil substance all over it and the assembly for the pedal(hard to describe) and when depressed doesn't look right. I'm gonna try to video/photo it when I get home.

    Look under your dash. Verify that the metal encased rubber coupler that goes from your pedal to the cylinder shaft has not broken/bent at an angle. The next thing you should do is get rid of the torsion spring and replace it with a tension spring from a 2nd gen 4Runner. The bushings tend to fail on the torsion spring.
