Default clutch problems

my clutch is acting up it goes down to the floor and dont come back up, i checked the fluid and it was out, so i filled it back up. it still is only coming halfway back up to the original position. what are the parts that most frequentlly go out on these cars, master cylinder, slave cylinder, or a connection. any suggestions on what the problem might be

You might want to pump the clutch and see if there are any air bubbles. But if the pedal loose travel it could the clutch master cylinder.

I have read a couple of other posts where changing the clutch master cylinder cured the pedal to the floor problem. If you feel your clutch is in pretty good shape and you are not ready to replace it, you might want to go this route. I would also sugguest having the clutch slave cylinder bleed. New fluid might also help.
