Default Clutch Problems

My 1988 Cherokee 4.0 is have some kind of clutch issue that is above my knowledge, hopefully someone can help me out with it. It simply goes to the floor, there is no resistance and it won't disengage making it impossible to put it into gear. I've checked all the fluids and connections and haven't noticed anything out of place, it may be important to mention that it hasen't been driven for about a year but at that time everything worked fine. Anyone have some advice?

its on the side of the tranny..the push pin inside the slave cylinder aparently aint workin cause you dont have any pedal for the clutch.. if you bleed and you get pedal and it dont work then you got problems with the slave cylinder if you bleed it and it works everythings fine but the next day you dont have pedal. then its your master cylinder leaking somewhere
