Clutch pedal sticks
Hi all.
Just had a bunch of work done to the engine and put in a low mile Z06 transmission. Everything works great, but the clutch pedal sticks when I really start going through the gears, especially from a standing start through 1st 2nd and 3rd gear. The gears still shift and there is no noise at all, but I literally have to put my foot under the pedal to "pop" it back up as it seems to stay stuck about half way down. This doesn't happen with light (normal) driving/cruising. Any ideas what it could be?
Should I change the fluid?
Thanks.

Bleed the system and make sure all the air is out. I just installed a new clutch and during the bleeding process it would do the same thing until the air was purged then the pedal began normal operation.

I have the same problem with my base '01 Thought it was pretty normal with the stock clutch. I will have to try this as well then!
