When you guys talk about a "sticky clutch" do you mean that it does not return properly and that you actually lift it with your foot? If so then you need to add more brake fluid to the reservoir. Your fluid is running dry in the master for the clutch. The hose to the clutch master is on the higher point of the reservoir. If you get air in there the clutch pedal will not return properly. Add fluid, pump the clutch several times, drive it, it will spring back. But if you have a leaking master or slave it will get "sticky" again to the point where you will not be able to shift into gear while moving. Keep adding fluid, keep pumping. It will get you by for now, but you will have to replace the master soon. And your floor mat will be a mess!
Yes my "sitcky" is the second scenario. It hasn't failed yet but i sometimesneed to tap it a few times before I can engage it (push down) again when on the freeway. Freaked me out at first but I do like you say and pump it lightly every so often on the highway. I generally never have the issue in the city, probably since I am clutching so much. Good to hear your symptoms match mine.
I'll order that now as well, thanks again.
