The automatically adjusted clutch cable on those cars are a sad story and needs to be manually adjusted once in awhile.
Two things can make it easier for the cable to adjust itself, remove the floormat so that pedal is traveling further down and make sure the pedal is pushed ALL the way down every time the clutch is used.
The way to manually adjust it is to turn steering wheel fully to the right, look in through the left inner fender and where the steering arm and rubber boot goes through, is where you find the clutch cable. Grab the cable with your hand and wiggle it a couple of times and it will probably adjust itself and take some of the freeplay out of the clutch pedal.
If this doesn't work, you might need a new clutch cable, and as a last fix a new complete clutch.
Be very careful with not grinding the reverse, it's not that strongly built and many people have ended up having to replace the transmission because they forced the gear in too many times.
Does the trans pop out of reverse sometimes? In that case you have to extra careful because the damage have reach the second stage.
