Could be the master cylinder. Try adjusting the pedal first.
Even though the clutch can not be adjusted, the pedal can.

The rod that goes though the firewall has a couple of nuts on it.
Back off these nuts and turn the rod, screwing it out, until the 
pedal play is 1/2 inch or so. That may help.

Also, there is a spring on the pedal itself that may be broken.
