My stock '98 with 98K miles has a problem with the clutch pedal staying near the floor, with maybe an inch of productive (resistant-like normal) travel. I can draw the pedal back up by hand. If I pump it dozens of times and let the car warm up, it functions normally: grips well, full travel returns after many shifts, no slipping. The fluid level is normal (I topped it off with the correct DOT brake fluid once at the start of the season) and clear.

Is my problem the master, the slave cylinder or something internal (ie like the forks not having enough spring to force the slave cylinder piston up)? Is this a repair I can do myself?

Thanks!

Have you tried the Ranger method for changing your fluid... it is fairly inexpensive and simple to try and see if it helps your issue...

Thanks, just found the Ranger link this morning. Will pick up supplies and try the method, worth a shot!

Next steps after replacing fluid is to replace MC.
If that doesn't work, new Clutch that is appropriate for your power.
If that doesn't work, use Tick MC
