sounds like ur clutch cable might be streached or broken.

did it just start happening all of a sudden or your not sure

also the clutch could be fubard..

the pedal should give way @ friction point.
so u press it and then at a certian point it should just fall to the floor

if it is springy or u dont feel it get loose. they the cable is either streached or the clutch is gone.
