Q on the clutch pedal

TT is correct. Clutch pedal staying to floor is internal fluid bypass in the master. OH or renew. If you use a Mazda kit and the bore is not rusted/pitted it can be honed and used for another 100K as long as you change the fluid every 3year or 30K miles for normal driving conditions.
Biggest problem with Brake and clutch systems is that no one changes the fluid. As fluid gets old and dirty it has a tendency to absorb even more moisture, which settles at the bottom of the cylinders, rusting them, damaging the cups.
As I tell all my clients, brake fluid is cheaper than masters, slaves, calipers and cylinders. (that way we can put more money into the motor when it comes time)
