clutch question
What's the deal with the sticking clutch when shifting quickly? I've read it has to do with a restriction in the hydraulic line. What's the best/easiest fix for this because I'm getting tired of having to pop the clutch back out. It's also caused me to miss some 2nd to 3rd shifts. The hydraulic line design just seems plain silly.

There are approximately 1,273,427 threads here on this subject!
Just kidding, but without trying to delve into it, there is a lot to read that has already been discussed.
Try a search under "clutch pedal sticking to floor"
This should yield pages of threads on the subject.
Several different theories, from hydraulic issues to clutch pressure plate design, etc.
All seem to have some level of merit.

It's happened to all of us! As vrybad said, do a search. It all boils down to changing the clutch fluid and then maintaining it. Good luck!

If you're lucky. It sometimes boils further down to a leaking slave cylinder, or in cases of modified motors,(sometimes even stock) a bad clutch. Sometimes it's a combination of the three major components in your hydraulic clutch system.
