Q: Clutch pedal goes to floor
when I press down on the clutch sometimes it sticks to the floor and forces me to pretty much yank it out of whatever gear it is in. while it is stuck to the floor, it does not allow me to change gears without pressing down on the clutch again to make it not stick anymore. I've read that this could either be a slave or master cylinder issue. how much would this problem cost me?

Abs, brake lights are on, and the check engine light is on. Code PO500 came up. I changed our speed sensor on the back axle as well.
