Ive had this car for 4 years no issues. Now I have to bring the clutch all the way up before the car moves. What is the issue and how long do I have before the car stops moving?

It sounds like either the pressure plate is bad or the clutch is just worn out. It could last that way for awhile or go bad the next time you drive it.

Honestly, that is a hard question to answer. In most cases, the problem just gets progressively worse until the vehicle will hardly move.
