Question clutch not dis-engaging?

My 95'Z has the stock clutch i'm guessing and only has 70,000 miles, it does not slip....yet...but about two weeks ago it has started to not dis-engage. Basically what happens is when i push the clutch all the way in and go to release it about 75% of the time as soon as i barely let up on the peddle it's already fully engaged. It used to not engage until i was at least half way releasing the peddle. What would cause this, the other day it actually was still barely pulling the car and the clutch peddle was all the way to the floor? What's the deal???? this ever happen to anyone else?

Does anyone know what could cause this? I hate posting on this site b/c if you're not a regular on here no one ever answers your questions or has input. Any advise?

it sounds like the clutch is about out and the diaphram is bad. your post is confusing because you say it is not disengaing and then you say it is engaging with the pedal down.

if you push the pedal down and the car still moves it sounds like a hydraulic problem. if you barely let off the pedal from the floor and it starts to move it could be hydraulics or bad clutch

the problem is when the pedel is down it's engaged and still pulling the car (barely pulling but still pulling). If it's a hydraulic problem what can i do to fix that and how much $$$ am i looking at to fix it?

Well what you can do for free is, lift your car in the air, and unbolt the slave cylinder. If you push the rod on the end of it in and out and it's still pretty resistance, than it's still good, but if it's soft and mushy like, try pulling the hydraulic system off the car and bleeding it to see if it improves. Another thing you can check is the clutch fork... once you have removed the slave cylinder push the clutch fork back to see how far it will travel, if it hits the back of the bell housing, or comes close to it, you might have a throw out bearing problem. THis should all take you about an hour to check at the most.
