Default Clutch problem

Had an issue start cropping up with the cold weather...my clutch seems to be sticking. Sometimes it will stick halfway up and then i have to kick it with my foot to pop it the rest of the way out. Then this morning it was sticking to the floor. I pumped it for a min or 2 and it seemed the be ok...then i'm almost to work and i go to take off from a stoplight, put it into first and try to slowly bring it up (stuck to the floor again), car stalled...i couldn't get it out of the floor. I had to pump at it again for abit to get it to release? Anyone had this happen before? Is there a fix for it?

I just went through the exact same situation - finally pedal went
half way down - clutch still engaged and it was all over - couldn't
pull it up any more-- towed to shop. Slave cylinder had come apart - fluid all over clutch etc. Total $1800 to remove trans and all to get to it!!!! (sorry about the bad news).
