my clutch pedal has been sticking for a few months now and its getting worse. When i get on it at high speeds it does it more. the clutch doesn't come out all the way, it comes out about half way and i have to pull it out with my foot the rest of the way. Is this just my clutch going bad or is something else wrong

How many miles on what type of clutch? It could be a worn clutch that is slipping more this causing excess heat. If it isn't old try the drill mod. It could also be a bad hydraulics. If your clutch is stock and old, and your car is a 2000 or older, you may need a new clutch and hydraulics, but without more info thats just a guess

My 00 WS6 has a similar issue. Occasionally when I jump on it and then shift the clutch pedal will stay on the floor. I can hit the pedal multiple times with my foot pushing it against the floor in a jabbing motion and the pedal remains on the floor until I reach down and pull it back up. When I pull it up and then push it back in like to check pedal pressure; the pedal semms to have very little pressure at first then slowly builds back up. I have a SPEC stage 3 carbon clutch and an updated slave but the master is stock. Someone had mentioned the clutch pedal return spring may be weak, but it sounds to me more like a hydraulic issue than mechanical.

Sounds like you need the drill mod.
If you skim this article you will see how they do the drill mod, they may expain it also.

Same thing was happening here until one time the pedal came up, but my clutch won't engage now. Should I bleed the system/check fluid? I was thinking it was the pressure plate, but the guy said it has a new clutch in so I am kind of stuck.
