You either have a bad clutch slave or master cylinder or the clutch fork pin
has broken. If pumping the clutch repeatedly makes it better then hydraulic.
You can look under the car (on a lift or well placed jack stands) and obseven
the range of motion of the slave rod and lever it is attached to. It should
have a little play, but then keep moving through the whole clutch pedal
depression. If it doesn't once again hydraulics. If it does appear to move
all the way through the pedal depression it could be a broken pin.
