Question clutch not engaging

Yes everybody has clutch problems and i tried finding it all over the place before i posted about mine. my clutch seems not to be engaging and i dont mean disengaging, its not engaging. i have no problem putting it into gear. when i engage the clutch and take my foot off the clutch peddle it still seems like its half way down. when i step on the gas my engine revs and my truck dosnt flinch, if i let it crawl it gets me going but its painfully slow. its real bad in 5th gear and is progressively not as bad as you go down in gears. also today my peddle went right to the floor and i could still put it in gear but only when i pushed on it more, i then lifted it back up with my foot did that 3 times then it stopped and is back to normal. i could really use some help on this any feedback is appreciated
Thanks DJ

Sounds like you have throwout bearing issues. Like it's not fully returning, thus not allowing the clutch to engage fully.

Don't continue to burn it up or you'll be replacing everything. Depending on the mileage, maybe you should anyway??

To replace the throwout bearing, you will have to pull transmission, so if you have lots of miles on clutch you might be better to replace it all.
