Sticking clutch pedal fixed today
Ok it worked so i thought ied post.
I was at 21st today to get a oil pressure sensor replaced. After the install Patrick took me and my car for a ride to check everything. My clutch pedal has been sticking since summer when car is hot. My clutch isn't slipping at all Pedal very hard and and sticks sometimes .
He said you need to get that fixed I said I know but my clutch is good .I said is it worth a try to put a master in he said it might fix it might not. I asked if he had one in stock and if he did lets go ahead and do it. He installed a z06 master and guess what no sticky pedal. My master was shot the rod going into it did not go in and out correctly.
The only reason I'm posting is to let people know sometimes the master will fix the issue.

Cross fingers that it isnt your slave. Mine did the sticky clutch off and on, and next thing I know it sunk to the floor and never came back up. Then there was a puddle of brake fluid under my car and the clutch master was dry. The slave decided to blow up.

Bleeding the clutch will often temporarily eleviate the issue which would have been done when the master was replaced. Hope it fixes it but I wouldn't count on it.

I had this problem - i had the slave replaced and that fixed the issue - i am still running the stock crappy master. i think the slave heats up a that is what causes the issue.

only thing that temporarily fixed my problem was a new z06 clutch. I say temporarily because it came back after about 6k miles. Dealer replaced the slave and clutch back then. Now they replaced the master w/ a z06 unit and it still does it.

Ok I drove 90 miles total today in stop and go traffic and it is not sticking. Even if i get 6k with this fix ill be happy.
Before even a simple 30-mile trip the pedal would stick constantly. My pedal felt like it was binding so hard to push in i thought i was driving a non Hydraulic clutch system.
Now it engages smoothly and no hang or bind.

to clearify my problem was at higher RPMS. Like at the track or above 4k Rpms on the freeway. The pedal would get hard to press in and eventually stick to the floor. Only say going WOT in 3rd or 4th in the higher RPMS

The vast majority of people who have the 'pedal to the floor' issue is while WOT and it gets worse through the gears (IE, 1-2 is OK, 2-3 pedal goes down a ways before actually disengaging, 3-4 goes to the floor and grinds. After the run the pedal binds up. A few minutes later everyting is back to normal). If you had the pedal to floor in everyday driving and don't now, your master very well may have been bad.
