Default Sticky clutch!! =(

My clutch has been sticking when i tend to romp around a little.

This does not happen when i drive normally, but as soon as i let her loose the clutch begins to stick. Ill be shifting into second and when i lift my foot from the clutch, the clutch pedal will stop rising about a quarter of its original position. I can put my foot under it and with not very much force bring it back up.

If anyone can help. that would be awesome. Thanks!!

Sounds like you need a new master cylinder.

One for my car is $60. I would think you could get one for not much more than that. What year is your car? And what motor does it have?

The clutch also has a master cylinder that does the exact same thing as the one for the brakes. It pushes your hydraulic fluid. It's its bad, it will cause your pedal to feel spongy or stick. I'll get a link for you.
