Clutch problems

Lately, my clutch has been sticking. Basically its staying close to the floor and not coming back up all the way. HELP!

you check your clutch fluid lately? I know my line leaks fluid and I have to check it every couple of months

Once in a while ours gets stuck. Ours is the original clutch @ 180,000.

When it happens, if you put your foot under the clutch and pull it back in, it usually gets pressurized again and works normally.

I don't know how much life is left in my clutch but most of our trips are <2 miles.

NIce...thanks for that. Ive got a question. Why did you remove the upper bleeder? I installed a SS line, but left this when I did mine. What advantage does it have to pull this out of the car?

The full SS clutch line deletes it.....

You probably got the short one that only deletes all rubber portions of the clutch line.

I got the full deal because I hate the Nissan dual bleeder setup.
