My clutch pedal only sticks to the floor when I powershift 1st to 2nd with my drag radials on back.I usually try to get the trans into neutral and pull the pedal up with my foot.Best to fix problem by replacing slave,replacing fluid and doing drill mod.If you dont repace parts just dont build a lot of heat in the clutch by slipping or powershifting.

like said, there is an issue with your hydralics. Being thats its a older camaro, id do a 2001+ update, wrap the clutch line, use DOT4 syn fluid and bleed it properly. As long as the clutch is in good condition, you should not have this problem at all.

Also there is a clutch return spring which is VERY hard to get to but make sure its replace when you do the master.

Well I bought it from a shop they did the m6 conversion everything has about 300 miles on it including the spec 3 clutch and the mcloed master. And lets say that happens to me again all I do is let it cool down and try to pull the pedal back out? Cuz I had to get a tow truck even thought the shop I got the car from is taking care of everything who knows where that can happen to me again.

Its a fluid issue, its needs to be re bleed, and checked regularly.
