Could be a bad clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder or have a leak and is out of fluid or have air in the line. To bleed air out of the system watch video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCqZOZDNGJY
bleeding is same on all m/t clutch slave/ master cylinders
same as doing brakes with the 2 man rule.
google that. you tube it. 1000s posted
but the lines are up hill.
and air floats up as you bleed down(physics issues) Hard to do.
so takes lots of patience. (or pressure bleeder, or vacuum bleeder)
google both and learn.
must bet the sport sidekick as all G16 engine sidekicks are cable.
the J18 engine, has hyd. clutch/
see here
remove them, , put in new,
bleed it. same as with simple brakes, no different.

check and bleed the clutch system at the slave cylinder and if that dose not improve the clutch operation then replace the master cylinder. If the system is cable operated then replace the cable. If you have removed the clutch to replace it then the clutch plate is probably in the wrong way round and the centre is hitting on the flywheel bolts.
Your clutch fluid reservoir may need brake fluid-yes, it uses brake fluid as a hydraulic fluid. Check reservoir on the firewall. It will sit beside the brake master cylinder. The reservoir sits atop the clutch master cylinder. If it was dry, the clutch may need bleeding down at the slave cylinder on the transmission housing-where the clutch fork sticks out of the transaxle.. Open the bleed valve on the slave cylinder, and have someone slowly press clutch down. Keep bleeding until a steady stream of fluid comes out when clutch is pressed. Then close bleed valve, check clutch operation-pedal should have some pressure on it now.
There are a couple small problems here. First, your question is listed under the heading of "Audi Caras & Trucks". You say it is a Suzuki Vitara with a 2L TDI engine. This is great, but you forgot to mention what year your Suzuki is.
Hi if the sidekick is the same as the uk vitara then they don't have a slave cylinder just a clutch cable with a nut near the end to adjust it. If its like a grand vitara they have got a slave cylinder, just crack the bleed nipple off put one end of a small pipe on the end of the nipple and drop the other end in a bottle that is roughly half full of break and clutch fluid, ask someone to pump the clutch pedal until no more air bubbles are coming out then tighten the bleed nipple back up. make sure to keep a check on brake fluid levels while doing this.
It's probably a hydrolic clutch and on those there is no adjustment you'll probably just have to bleed the clutch. There is a bleeder screw similar to one for disc brakes on the top or side of the clutch slave cylinder.
