It touches the floorboard cut out switch. Don't go too far or the clutch won't completely disengage!

I'll change it every day for a week... to see if it gets better. When I first read your post about changing the fluid last year, mine was pretty low (3/4" to an 1" left) & black. I've since flushed it about 20 times.
Whats your take on the window clip stopper mod, to 'raise' the floor? would that help too?
I'm pretty worried about aftermarket clutches myself... even swapping for an Ls7 setup.

Update
Took car out again... Clutch pedal only seems to stick to the floor going from 4th to 5th, before that it's fine. I tried a redline 1,2,3 and it held, on several tries.
Why would it stick only at high speed... Or higher gears?
I was gonna order a clutch today, but now I'm not sure
this is really weird

I noticed the fluid I was using, Napa Dot4, only has a boiling point of 311 degrees F.
I just flushed it (10-15 times) with Prestone Dot4, as per the ranger way. My dealership does not stock the GM super dot4, but I beleive these are quite similar.
will try it out when the rain stops

Been like this for years.
