Angry Clutch pedal problems...Still
Ok...lol the car is getting scary to drive now. The clutch pedal is messing up often now...sticking to the floor. I am almost afraid to drive it cause I don't know when it is going to stick to the floor and leave me stuck in gear with the car fighting me to stop. She likes to lunge forward now when it happens. Geesh...looks like a clutch, pilot bearing and slave cylinder are going to happen sooner than I thought, dammit!!

I have checked the clutch master cylinder and it is full.

The system either needs to be bled again, or you should replace the master.

Would it be easier to just replace the master, the slave and just change the clutch? Is there anything that needs to be "pressed on" when I change a clutch?

It's a classic sign that the master is getting old / worn out, or that the system needs to be bled.

its a very simple fix but since u are replacing the master go ahead and change the slave it will shortly go out as well. since u are doing that get a braided hose line. make sure u bleed the system . since your bleeding go ahead and do your brakes. but b4 u do brake get a brake upgrade the list goes on......sorry sometimes i get excited >_< over parts.
