There are a lot of reasons that may cause this and you should attend to at once. To have a better grasp of why your car has a clutch issues, you should thoroughly diagnose the problem.
Check if your transmission fluid level is correct or see if there are leaks in your transmission. The initial knowledge will help you get by sneaky mechanics since, most transmission problems can't be fixed by the ordinary driver.
And also there are many special tools that might be needed in fixing the problem. If you're not well-versed in troubleshooting, it's best to bring your car to a shop.
