Sticky clutch pedal

[zig553]

Recently my clutch pedal suddenly decided that it wasn't going to come back up completely all the way. It only comes up about 75-80% of the way now instead of fully coming back up. I can still use it and shift and the clutch disengages properly, its just sort of bothersome. Googling this makes it sound like the clutch slave cylinder (which I checked, It isn't leaking) or the Master cylinder but most people who have had these break on them said the clutch pedal completely hits the floor and won't come back up. So i'm not exactly sure if the problem is the cylinders or something simple, I tried wd40 on the clutch pedal where it pivots but it didn't seem to fix the issue.

Flush the fluid and check back (probably hasn't been done in a while right?). Maybe bigger problems though, how old is the clutch and pressure plate?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am able to pull up the clutch pedal with my foot too. As for how old it is, I'm not sure possibly as old as the car as the PO didn't have any documentation or tell me when it was replaced, my car has only 230000 km on it and I know the clutch is still good and doesn't slip.

same thing happened to me....after a few days of driving like that it stuck all the way. the slave went bad. I would try bleeding it, but you might have to replace it, otherwise you might get stuck on the road with no clutch like I did.
