MG MGF Technical - clutch help !!

hoping someone can help with a clutch problem. 1979MGB just imported from UK (my own car owned for 23yrs. With the clutch pedal all the way to the floor it is difficult to engage gears and when on the move its difficult to change, gears seem to be holding on. clutch has 4000mls on it after i replaced the overdrive in '01. Its been stored for the last 22months but run regularly. I'm guessing its hydraulic and need to refurbish master and slave but wanted to ask a second opinion. Got it on the road and only done 140mls since getting it over here, fluid level is down a bit so hoping its passing a seal somewhere. Any thoughts guys? (or gells !!)
cheers

May get a better response if you post on the MGB board instead of the MGF board.

Hope you get it sorted soon

Jon,
1. Is there any adjustment available on rod entering the clutch slave cylinder.
2. Possibly the clutch plate is sticking on the gearbox splines.
3. Most likely, you need to replace clutch plate.
