Sticking clutch pedal

[Todd Phenneger]

Matt,
   This is a very late reply.  But incase your not done yet,
check the pedal.  Frequently the whole will turn ovalized and
cause sticking.  So you need either a new pedal or to weld and
redrill the one you have.  
  Grrr, I hate my pedal.  I rebuilt everythign but the pedal
itself and it still stuck.  A friend did his pedal with
everything and it works like a charm.  I have yet to yank mine
out again though.  Will soon.
