add this to the list of issues i have had with my car lately.
my clutch is sticking and sometimes will remain engaged with no pressure on the pedal. then somtimes the pedal will be really hard to push in then sometimes really easy. it seems that the higher the RPM the easier it gets. one solution is to just shift at 4000 rpm, but that won;t work.
any ideas as to what my problem is? is the clutch out of adjustment, is it going out, or do i have another problem.

thanks, jason

sounds like the cable is stretching when it heats up?

a jacked up throw out bearing might do the same thing though
