Clutch engagement problems

Hey I got a problem. My clutch travels all the way To the floor before it engages. I can still drive but it is particularly hard to start. I have heard that there is a little clip on the clutch linkage that goes through the firewall that cleans up the slack. Just wondering what this clip is or if need to fix something else.

Hydraulic Clutch Troubleshooting .: Articles Click on this link and read it.
Yours should be OK but also check the firewall for flexing where the master cyl bolts on.
Could also be a bad master cyl.
Could also be air in the system.
What engine do you have?
Do you have any fluid leaks?

Haven't noticed any leaks. I am going to try and change out the bushings today. Hopefully that works
