If there is an actual change begin by checking the clutch-brake fluid level. 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.

Vanners, and oil vanners,
My clutch seems to be catching closer and closer to the floor. Not good for a short legged person.
Any ideas of what this might be and/or how to fix it?
