Re: 2001 Ford ZX2 Clutch Problem

If your clutch is mechanical, the linkage may have somehow slipped out of adjustment. There is usually a way to adjust the pushrod that's attached to the clutch pedal on both mechanical and hydraulic systems.
How are the gear changes? The reason I ask is because what you're describing sounds like it could be a symptom of a burned out clutch. If the shifter starts to feel unusually clunky or the gears start grinding, that's another bad sign.
