Clutch Pedal sticks. What do I do?
I have a 2005 base model Z. The problem is that between shifts when i let out the clutch, it will stop coming out before it is fully released (but it is fully disengaged), so i have to help it the rest of the way up with the top of my foot. A friend of mine said i probably need to bleed my clutch. Has anyone else experienced this problem. What do i need to do to fix it, my car is just annoying to drive right now.

you have to switch your clutch fluid with a higher temperature one. if you dont want to bleed your clutch and replace it.. which is alot of work. you can do this

On mine the linkage was adjusted wrong. It get to a point and the pedal won't come back up all the way. Just a thought. However, I'd check that first then I'd go with TaiMonkey's idea. I think he might be right if the linkage is adjusted right. There is always the possibility that the diafram is loosing it spring pressure which is part of the pressure plate / clutch system.
I actually, have mine adjusted as yours is working so that I can get the clutch to release closer to the floor and I installed a helper spring to bring it back up on return. Pssst .... Don't tell anyone .... it's really nice and they won't believe you anyways.

Yeah i tried adjusting the linkage already but still had the problem. I guess I'll give swapping my fluid a shot. that sounds a whole lot better than bleeding the whole system. Thanks for all your help guys.

Same issue started happening after WCN installed my Nismo Clutch and JWT Flywheel. Only happens on hot days or when sitting in heavy traffic on the 101 fwy for a really long time.

Yes. The fluid is overheating. Swap to higher temp fluid or wrap the clutch line in several layers of header tape works. I've only wrapped the clutch line as it runs right next to my headers. I no longer have a problem.

I have exactly the same problem with my 06 Track, the clutch wont come back when I rev up.
But there are more problems.
1. VDC turn off automatically
2. Slip sign on automatically
3. Break sign on automatically( no hand break use at all)
4. My car smell weird, like something burn.
I might go to shop and change the clutch fluid, and that will solve clutch stuck problem.
How about the other?
What should I do ?
