Just for research sake, since I didn't find a ton of info: The clutches in Carreras are hydraulic, very much like a brake system, and in fact share the same fluid reservoir with the brakes (not true in turbos). They also have a master cylinder and slave cylinder, again just like brakes. My issue was with the master slave cylinder, which now seems to be fixed.
My symptoms: at first a "spongey" pedal. The only way to describe it is if there was a spring attached to the clutch pedal, that spring is now bent such that the pedal doesn't have the right resistance when you push it. This, I ignored because I don't trust my own judgement. A mistake. This was followed by an increase in pedal travel, such that the engagement point of the clutch moved closer to the floor, until I could no longer push the pedal far enough to engage reverse. This happened so gradually that I didn't really notice until recently and then it was too late. In any case, pumping the clutch pedal allowed me to get enough pressure in the system to engage reverse and get it out of the garage.
