Clutch sticks....

Ok, last night me and a couple of friends were driving this hill...... My friends were going at it, but I was holding back because lack of breaks and tires had low tread.... Now, I peeled out a couple of times popping the clutch, and I know wasn't a good idea..... but when we were done and left my clutch was actin' funny..... the pedal was sticking to the floor and I couldn't put it in and out of gear...... Ok, now when I got to my cousin's to park it for the night, I was able to switch the gear a little, but had to be a little aggressive with it..... I'm just wondering what would of caused this mechanically?

When your peddle stays down and wont come back up its usually a clutch master cylinder going out, or its been leaking slowly and your low on fluid. Thats how mine was acting when mine went out.

You might have a leak, check the fluid level of your clutch master cylinder, if its low put more brake fluid in it. You might have to do this a coule of times until the leak stops.
