Thanks to all. Checked brake fluid reservoir and it's low. Will fill up tomorrow and see what happens. If that fixes it then it's time to check for leaks in the clutch hydraulic system, master and slave cylinders I think.

The clutch system losing fluid will allow the pedal to travel further until it fails completely. If not hydraulic then something is failing mechanically. Options there include the disc lining separating, clutch fork bending or getting ready to break, pressure plate binding, broken engine to transmission studs, etc. Fix son or keep the towing card handy.

Not good for a short legged person. Any ideas of what this might be and/or how to fix it? Mike NorCal Mike who looks at planes as opposed to SoCal Mike who keeps them flying.
