Stuck clutch pedal and strange shifter behavior. I took my z out for a spin yesterday- first time in over a week. Car was warmed up. After some hard driving, the clutch pedal did not come back up after I depressed it. Had to "pull" it back up with my hand. B and M Shifter had a "notchy" feel and fought going into 3rd at wot- this seems to happen frequently. Does this seem like a hydraulic issue? I have been thinking about updating my 1999 slave cylinder. Clutch is in good shape- I think. Original after 26000miles of weekend cruising- no big burnouts or track time.

Could be a number of issues. Your mods indicate a power level that will likely overwhelm a stock clutch. It could be slipping. It could also be a hydraulic issue. I've experienced both. If it were me, I'd plan for an upgrade--new clutch, pressure plate, resurfaced or new flywheel (depending on how stock one looks), upgraded slave cylinder and new pilot bearing.
