Default Clutch not returning back to normal position.. wondering what im in for....

driving around, clutch feels like it has a dead spot when returning to the normal position, it either sticks then flys up or sticks and then comes back up slowly. wondering how to fix

Either a bad slave (probably) or maybe air in the system.

Default funny you should post this... i just ran to the grocery and had a major sticking point in clutch

travel... like i was breaking something by depressing the pedal. i released and pressed again and it went in. the past few days the clutch has felt really light. all gears engage fine and no slipping or anything. there is a "hitch" or click about 1/2 way down in the pedal travel. a quick STFA says maybe it's the return spring under the dash. one guy said his broke completely (and fell out by his feet) and his clutch felt like a honda clutch (soft).

wish i had more info for you. keep us posted.
