Bad clutch master cylinder and possibly slave cylinder, but master
generally goes first.

Easy to change? I just did one on a 97 which is the same setup. Not
too hard but helps if you are small, wirey and have little hands. On
the 95 nuts that hold the master cylinder are on the inside. Plus
there is a cotter pin that has to be removed to disconnect the piston
rod from the clutch pedal bracket.

Steps are.

Disconnect the fluid line, remove the cotter pin holding the rod, back
off the two nuts on the inside firewall that hold the cylinder on, go
back in reverse order with a new/rebuilt cylinder, fill and bleed.
the bleeder valve is at the slave cylinder location.
