Sticky clutch pedal

I have notcied on two occassions, that when my car is driven very gingerly for long periods of time, the clutch pedal fails to snap back. After the car sits for a few minutes, it returns to normal. Anyone else experience this?

Mine did it on occasion in the past, I havent had it happen in a while. I assume its a little air stuck in the clutch line, bleed the line and the problem should be solved.

I had the same problem last year. It got to the point where it was hard to shift. I took the car in to the dealer and they had to replace the entire clutch assembly. They said that the preasure plate was cracking from one half and a spring came out loose. It was covered under warranty. Take it in to have it checkd.

Was ur problem constant or did it happen once in a while? I have only had this happen twice.

With almost 45 K miles on her, have not had this problem at all. It does sound like a hydraulic clutch problem that the dealer should check out.

The problem grew as time past by. It took about 2-3 weeks untill it finaly made the shifting hard and my clutch was really soft. Oh and the smell horrible.

Just thisweekend while I was out all of a sudden clutch started to stick and was only coming up half way and it was extremely tough to shift into gear. After it sits for a while it's back to normal. I took it in once before and the dealership said it was because my fluid was low. I think this will bemy last manual.
