Clutch sticks

my clutch pedal sticks to the floor and I know the master cylinder is okay. There is fluid in the container to. Any suggestions?

You have to bleed it. It can be a pain but it's about the only thing that causes the issue that you're having. You'll have to pump by hand since it doesn't go back up on it's own.

Does the car go into gear? If not It's your throw out bearing. You will need to replace your clutch and they will supply you a new one.

If it's the slave then the clutch pedal will grab near the floor before completely going out.

Or it could be a bad master cylinder. If the seal in the actual cylinder itself or the rings between the reservoir and the cylinder is bad, then air will be drawn into the clutch line and bleeding it will not get air out as air is always being sucked in . I hope this helps resolve your issue.
