Default Clutch Problems

I have a manual 94 5.0 EFI. She's been running fine until this morning. Got in and started her up and the clutch pedal was stuck to the floor and I couldn't shift into gear. Thought she just might be temperamental with the cold weather so I let her run for a while. The pedal finally released but now when I depress it, instead of constant resistance, I don't get resistance until about 3/4 of the way to the floor. The clutch pedal is extremely sensitive now. I thought it might be the spring, but that seems fine. Eventually I was able to shift but not without seriously manhandling the stick into gear. It's like that with every gear even while running. I just bought her a month ago, so I thought I may have overlooked the transmission fluid. Only one problem, there is no dipstick. Any suggestions?

to check your fluid there are two large(22mm) bolt head plugs on the left side of the trans. Ford recommends that fluid be changed every 15-20k miles. Mercon III I beleive is the correct fluid the same as your power steering.
The issue that i see here is that the hydraulic clutch may need to be adjusted through a process of bleeding and such.
