Truck won't start unless clutch pushed hard

I have a 94' and it just started acting up. The truck will not start unless I push the clutch hard to the floor. I was told it could be the plastic retainer that's between the push rod and clutch peddle. I replaced it and still have the same problem. Any ideas?

I bypassed that plastic POS years ago...lol. Silly safety-**** part. No one who routinely drives a manual trans EVER starts the engine w/o putting the clutch to the floor!
