If you're lucky, the spring inside the MC has broken. If not, it's the
taper pin inside the bellhousing.
I would start by checking the adjustment at the slave pushrod. If it's
horribly loose, you've probably got a broken taper pin or (much less likely)
a bad throwout bearing or broken pressure plate. (Normal clutch wear makes
the adjustment get too tight, not loose.) If the adjustment seems OK, hold
a ruler up to the pushrod while someone depresses the clutch pedal for you.
If you get less than 1/2" of movement, then the MC is the most likely
suspect.
