In that case it might be catastrophic. 
I just had a catastrophic failure yesterday. It was getting harder and harder to shift as I was driving around. I pulled into a parking space and that was it. Pedal won't barely come off the floor and the car won't go into any gear. It's been on and off for a few weeks but I think that was it. Something had been wrong with my pressure plate since I bought it though.
That doesn't mean its the clutch yet.
YOu are saying it won't come back up from being on the floor? I'd have to say look at the clutch master cylinder and the pedal assembly. At a minimum you've got that problem because the clutch pedal is not physically connected to the pressure plate and clutch slave cylinder except by the fluid in the line.
The clutch is fine, no slip at all. It's everything around it that's falling apart. The trans has 2nd and 3rd gear synchro issues. And I never could figure out why my clutch pedal vibrates hard after a trip past 5000rpm. When that happens, the car will shudder as the clutch engages.
I can drive for about a mile before the problem starts rearing its head. Then the trans becomes impossible to shift and if I stop it won't go back into gear without some serious force and gear grinding. I think I'm just gonna have it ripped out and sent to TH.
