Try bleeding and adjusting the clutch arm up, it may be a simple fix.

Look around the slave cylinder for any fluid leaks, also around the master cylinder and inside the car as well (if the master cylinder leaks into here, it gets under the carpet and strips the paint if not cleaned out).

Has it been getting a little worse of late over time, or just today?

So you reckon the clevis pin dropped out? I hope it's an easy fix for you.
