Default Clutch Problem

I've got a 1993 Z28 6-speed. Yesterday I stopped at a stop sign and took off and my clutch pedal stuck to the floor. I got it to come up but it comes up very slow and seems , I guess I'd say, very sticky. Also, I have to push the clutch down farther than normal to be able to shift. Once I get the clutch engaged I can get it into gear no problem. Is this a busted clutch? A slave cylinder? Any help would be useful. Thanks guys

Either a busted MC or SC or maybe even a broken throw out bearing.

Could very well be a busted T/O brg or hydr. system....When was the last time you replaced the hydr. system

Update
I got back from vacation today and went to take my car in to have it looked at and when I turned the key over there was a pop and the car stopped turning over. On the third try it turned over slowly for about 4 seconds before finally cranking. Any one have any ideas on what could have happened? Thanks

Low battery voltage? And Im with 96lt1m6 for the master/slave assembly going out. Last time I put a clutch in my car, the master cylinder blew the first time I pressed the clutch. Save your self the money and find out whats wrong for sure. Replacing the whole assembley is easy (I did it with the car sitting on the ground)
