open the FSM or haynes.....flip to the clutch pedal section.....see all those parts.....its most likely one of more of those.....

my guess would be the master cylinder or the push rod in the cylinder

I got the same problem. Hole in the clutch line, bleeder valve is open or pressure plate is gone.

Bleed the clutch line. More than likely you have air in it.

i'm having the same problem. mainly in stop and go where the peddle is depressed for extended periods of time. I just pull it up with my foot, and pump it some and that fix's it. I'll try bleeding and what not see if that works, i already know i need a new clutch anyway....

yup same problem here a while ago.... fix it now because once it gets so bad you wont be able to pull it back up with your foot

open the FSM or haynes.....flip to the clutch pedal section.....see all those parts.....its most likely one of more of those.....

my guess would be the master cylinder or the push rod in the cylinder
