Soft pedal info (found it searchin..figure i'd post) I have been tryin to figure this thing out...found this serachin thru the net.
9.13.) Sometimes after driving my car hard, the clutch pedal sticks to the floor.
The sticky clutch pedal problem is due to a design flaw in the slave cylinder of your clutch system. The slave cylinder is what pushes on the fingers of the clutch to make it release. In the flawed part, when the clutch gets hot, the heat is transferred to the slave cylinder, causing the piston inside the slave to expand, and it binds in its bore, causing the clutch pedal not to be able to come back up.
Depending on the severity of the problem (I have had it happen once), the solution is to have the slave cylinder replaced, preferably at the same time as a new clutch and flywheel.

Good info
I've done alot of searching on the subject as well but never came across this. We've always know that the slave had a problem but never what the actual problem was. I'm going to add this to my sticky at the top sticking clutch pedal write-up.
