Default Really Need Help Please

so i have a 2001 Trans Am WS6, and i thought that the clutch went out, but i am still able to get it into gear, but it is however extremely hard to get it into gear and i have to play with it for a little while, this happened on July 31 and luckily i was able to get it into 2nd and make it home cause i was right down the street, the actual pedal for the clutch goes all the way to the floor so i am trying to find out it if it is the slave cylinder or what

Check your clutch fluid level first, if that is low, you could get the symptoms you describe (unable to fully dis-engage the clutch even w/ pedal on the floor).

If your fluid level is OK, then you most likely have something going out in the hydraulics, either the master or slave cylinder or both.

Definitely don't drive it anymore if something is wrong. Don't look for 'el cheapo' repair shops either if you want your WS6 to be repaired properly. Clutch repairs are never cheap so don't get tricked into, "I can get it fixed for ya for $xxx". You'll probably be very disappointed.
