You know how if you can pull up on a clutch pedal its not good? So ...yeah....What do I need to replace? thanks guys!
 
Are you talking about there is play in the clutch pedal or do you have to pull it back up when you push it down.
 
Welll usually it would be as simple as a new clutch slave cylinder (properly bled of course), or it could be the clutch line itself that has a leak. Basically there is a leak somewhere in the system, which is why it's not holding pressure and sink to the floor. Good thing you have a 6 bolt because a sinking pedal during left hand turns is a sign of potential crankwalk.
 
Sorry guys it seems like every time i post something on here i think it is clear but the questions come and it makes my question really unclear. Sorry. What i meant was......If you adjust the clutch so that the stopper isn't touching the clutch anymore but you have to pull the pedal towards you to get it to come in contact with the stopper now....Kinda like it just really liked the old position is was in...does that make sense. This has nothing to do with driving the car or anything like that.... thank you for your replies
 
Sounds like a worn assembly.

Push the clutch pedal in once. Reach down with your hand, if you can pull the clutch pedal towards you even more, then the pedal assembly is shot. You dont have to pull hard or force anything.

Another good way to tell is crawl under the dash and watch the pedal assebly. Take notice of the master cylinder and the assembly that pushes the rod. Pull the pedal all the way out with your hand and press the clutch in while looking at the assembly. The SLIGHTEST motion of the clutch pedal should move the master cylinder. There shouldnt be any delay at all whatsoever.

If it doesnt move, the pedal assembly bushings are worn, or the bracket is rounded out. There is a full write up on it somewhere if you search "clutch pedal assembly".
