Well if it's been great for 5,000 miles and all of a sudden yesterday it stuck to the floor for the first time we know it's at least capable of doing it's job. If it's been working for 5,000 miles and now its sticking to the floor I'd bleed the clutch good. When is the last time you bled the clutch?

Oh yeah, definitely give it a good bleed and report back. I bet that will solve your problem. I wouldn't be surprised if your clutch fluid is black now. When you open the cap to the Master cylinder resavior take note of the fluid level in there, if it's really low or almost empty it could indicate that the slave or master may be leaking and causing your problem as well.

Some have had good luck bleeding with a mity vac, others like the traditional way through the slave. I personally like bleeding through the slave. I use this method and it works great...

Even though it's written for the Tick Master, it works perfect on the stock master as well.
