Started Last week, clutch pedal was sticking badly but still had to ddrive the car til the weekend but by the weekend it was getting worse, to the point where even though the clutch was all the way to the floor, it wasn't engaged and selecting gears was....hmm, embarrassing? 
there are a few common e1-3 problems that result in this
1. the bulkhead behind the master cylinder(m-c) has cracked/split;
this allows the whole area to flex and so the m-c leaks =loss of fluid = no clutch
and/or it's difficult to engage the clutch as the actuation rod doesn't engage or properly in the m-c
solution: weld & strengthen that whole area behind and around the m-s
- should be an easy task for any bodyshop/garage, once the m-s and other items are removed
The m-c seals may also have become damaged/worn so you will have to replace those as well
2. the clutch actuation fork(on top of gearbox) has a bush that wears
solution: replace bush/fork
3. the slave cylinder is knackered
solution: replace/change seals
(FNG_EVO has just had the same problem; thread in Lancer chat)
