Thumbs up Clutch issue

Hey guys, was wondering if I could get some help for this...today my clutch seemed to be getting stuck at the top before a full release. What does this mean?

Its actually a pretty common problem. You should search.

Most common solution is to upgrade to SS clutch line and better brake/clutch fluid.
Also check the slave and master cylinder for leaks.

my car had the same problem, so i took it to the stealership and they wanted to replace the master cilinder and flywheel for $3,200 needless to say i went with the ss line and replaced the master cylinder myself.

okay I'll list the steps that seem to be proven in order from cheapest/easiest to most expensive/time consuming once again.... but only because I like your name

1) Simply change clutch fluid
if that does not work
2) Change clutch lines to SS lines
if that does not work
3) change master and slave cylinder (as most of the time it is the slave, but you might as well change the master while you are at it)
