Bob already gave you the right answer on this. When the clutch pedal 
loses its stop and flops all the way to the rear, it's quite likely 
that the hook on the clutch shaft lets loose of the eye on the end of 
the clutch cable. The only way to fix this is to free up the cable at 
the rear, remove the pedal cluster at the front, and hook it in 
again.

You'll need to find some way of keeping the pedal from flopping 
rearwards, or this will all just happen over and over again.
