You need to check your fluid level in your clutch master cylinder and if it is low you have a leaking master or slave cylinder.

yea its the same. my buddy told me that it might be because of one of the plates in the transmission, not the clutch, flywheel but the pressure plate,any suggestions?

it could be your pressure plate. the best way is to just take out the transmission.. and look.. its not so hard. did it with jack stands and limited tools in a tiny onecar garage.. and replaced my clutch..
