stickey clutch pedal
sup guys,
i know this has been covered before, but i dont get to many results from search...umm. i used 'sticky clutch pedal', and 'sticky clutch'. and didnt get anything.
but here is the prob anywayz. well i was driving today and i was in a bit of stop and go traffic, the pedal didnt spring back up after i pushed it in. i had to physically pull it up with my foot. this only happens for stop and go of driving. if im on the freeway or something. works like a charm. so im wondering slave cylinder, clutch or what...also where the hell is the slave cylinder....my buddy has an fc and its where the damn cruise control is on ours. and i cant seem to find it; are our clutchs even hydraulic..?? im sure they are simply becasue, but i just need starting point or another point of view...thanx. and im gonna run another search...damn brain farts.

you could take it to kenshi's auto repair in hanford... he rebuilt my slave cylinder for me.

Inspecting the hydraulics is a good first step. If you don't have one, get a shop manual - that will tell you many things about the car 
.
Do NOT bother rebuilding either the clutch slave or master. I've tried it before on a few occasions - you're much better off with a new part. A rebuild will fail VERY quickly.

As Dale suggested, you need to inspect the system. The slave cylinder is on the drivers side, attached to the tranny. Put the car on jack stands, and get under there. Check for leaks. Have someone press the clutch in and out, so you can see where a leak may be. If you don't find any leaks, your slave cylinder is probably bad.
I had a similar problem, and found that the hose from the master to the slave was leaking.

I'm 95% sure it's going to be the slave/master cylider or it could be both of them. It could only be one of these, but then again, if you replace one, might as well replace the other.

New parts are convenient because you just swap them on and bleed the system.
You can rebuild the cylinders just fine as well but if you don't hone the bores before you put in the new seals you're asking for trouble. The bore is normally slightly pitted and new seals don't fix that. I've rebuilt plenty of old crap (brake master cylinders, clutch master cylinders, clutch slave cylinders, brake calipers etc ) on other cars that parts aren't available for and never had problems IF you ensure the bores are good.
New parts cost more but are also less work. I opt for new parts if they are available and I can afford them.

If you have to remove so much material that boring is actually required throw it away. The new seals won't fit tightly enough in the bore.
