Check the brake fluid level. Bleed the clutch.

Or adjust the clutch cable.

Depending on what you've got, don't know if a puma is hydraulic or not

there hydraulic Frozen

look for fluid/damp at the bottom of the gearbox/engine join


pump the clutch 5 or 6 times at a standstill, if it gets better it will be the hydraulic slave cylinder, if not a worn out drive plate, either way stick a 3 piece clutch kit in it when the box is out
