Default Clutch pedal sticking?

Is this a common problem? i have had it happen to me a few times already over the first 2 weeks of driving the car, last night being the most recent.

Very common. I suggest replacing the master and slave cylinder at the same time. Its also a good time to upgrade the clutch since the trans is out for the slave cylinder. Good luck!

Did you replace your slave cylinder at that time? If not then thats your problem right there. I would suggest the Ram high flow slave cylinder and also do the drill mod. Make sure you take your time when you bleed it though or you will still have some trouble.

i would actually start right now by bleeding it... keeping the fluid fresh, clean and free of air is key/
