Default Loss of clutch pedal problem?

Hey guys I'm having a problem with the clutch in my 97 camaro. The clutch pedal will not disengage at times. It's a loss of clutch putting it in and out of gear. There is no noise so I guess it's not a throw out bearing. Just wondering what part that could be? I can get the clutch back by pumping it.

Have you checked your clutch master cyl. reservoir lately? Your hydraulics would be the first thing to check out.

Yeah I checked that already and it has enough fluid in it. It may be a seal leaking in the clutch master cylinder or something else?

If your reservoir is full then I highly doubt there's a leak anywhere. IIRC early on lsx cars had a problem with the slave cylinders not actuating properly causing the pedal to die and having to pump it back up to get enough pressure to disengage the clutch. You haven't done any work to it lately? Easy thing to do is take the slave off the trans and push the clutch fork rod in while watching the reservoir to see if there is air in the line...
