If it's sticking to the floor, it's not a mechanical issue, and there is no fluid loss, then bleeding will not help. Fluid is bypassing either the master or slave piston internally, and one, or both will need to be replaced or rebuilt. Rebuilding gives questionable results, so I would just replace both, since, if one is bad, the other often immediately follows.

it does not always stick to the floor. but when i push the clutch to the floor (while in gear) the car still tries to push itself foward. like the clutch is not fully disengaged

That is probably still a sign of fluid bypassing the piston, most likely in the master cyl. You're going to have to replace the cylinder(s) and see if that fixes it. If not, there may still be some mechanical issue.

Just buy my master that I just rebuilt or rebuild your master yourself for ~15 dollars in ~ 1 hours time.

I got mine from Autozone/Parts America.

Replacing/rebuilding the master is the simplest and easiest thing to do first! (besides bleeding)

The car still moves because the master cylinder is not creating enough pressure to over come the pressure plate. Since you can not overcome the the pressure plate there is nothing pushing the pedal back off the floor. Its the same thing when your brake master cylinder goes out. You step on the brake pedal and the car does not stop.

Its a very simple, if you lines and slave cylinder are not leaking and you dont have any leaks. I would replace the master cylinder. If you look underneath the dash the back of the clutch master cylinder should shows signs of a small leak. Replace it now before it completely goes out.
