Default Sticky clutch

So I have had my S for what about 2-3 months and have since loved the car. Since taking ownership I have added about 10k in mileage to it but now the clutch pedal sticks?! A few other members have mentioned to flush and re-fill my clutch fluid because it was REALLY dirty! I ahve done that but it still sticks, I have heard that the clutches go out fast on these cars. I also have had some people tell me its my throwout bearing?! Whats the real reason? When I engage the clutch right before it hits the floor board it gets extreamly stiff, when upon releasing in sticks for a split second but has no problem poping out. Shifting is no issue and no grinding. Can anyone out there help me out Please?! Thanks guys/gals.


Kind regards,
Joe

It could be the slave cyl. It's hard to tell without getting the old hands dirty. Open a Helm Manual and see what it says.

If under warrenty, the dealer might foot the bill.

Good Luck.

I'm going to edit your title so it is more indicative of what this thread is about. Please keep this in mind for future threads you start. The title is what garners the proper attention and will make future searches (if it ever works) easier.
