Default clutch pedal issues

I've had the ls6 clutch kit with updated slave and master cylinders in my 00 SS for 10k miles with no w.o.t. pedal sticking issues until now. All of a sudden, the pedal just started sticking at w.o.t.. What do I need to change... clutch, master, slave, or just get the Tick adj. master????? Thanks for any input!!

Likely the clutch, that is the most common problem for sticking pedal.

Yea I did. I've bled the hell out of it and used the mighty vac on it like the sticky suggested with no succuess. One thing I did notice when I was bleeding the clutch was everytime the pedal was pushed the pressure plate was making a creeking sound kinda like an old door. Thanks

I would put money that the LS6 pressure plate isn't holding up to your power level anymore. Stock or stockish clutches don't do too well with cammed or higher power levels. You probably had good luck to get 10,000 miles out of it, but it's most likely time for a beefier clutch.
