clutch sticking. . . .help me out

check it out. so when i push the clutch in it sorta hits a spot just before you hit the floor. it feels like i'm pushing into the pilot bearing, but it's like, not wanting to go in, then when i let out the clutch, just before it's totally let out it will snap out the rest of the way. it just started doing this tonight. also, i can feel it in the brake pedal. i'm hoping it's just cause it's cold and some lubricant is pushed away. anyone have any idea?

my best friend and mechanic is comin up to school today to hang. i'm gonna let him feel it. my guess is the spindle is sticking inthe pilot bearing, or like you said, something is wrong with the linkage or fork. . .

It is kinda funny I have been thinking the clutch is not that bad in the maxima (I had heard bad things) and then today I watched the rpms go up 300 and drop back down when I went WOT GRRRRRR
