When you get on it, is the clutch slipping? Or is it just the pedal travel? If its just the pedal, then it sounds like a hydraulic issue.
How is the engage/dis-engage on the clutch?

Since the car is driveable...kinda, when was the last time clutch fluids were bled or freshened up? If the fluid is black or it's been a while, get the old fluid out (at the top if you don't have a remote bleeder) and get good fluid in there. Do that a few times after driving and eventually it'll stay clean.

We have had cases like this where changing out the fluid helps out, but more than likely it is either a master cylinder or slave cylinder problem. What to do? Start with the easy choices first and see if it helps. Bob
