Default Clutch pedal issue

I recently got my clutch line repaired and have had the following issue since. The actual clutch engages normally, but the pedal seems to get stuck after the engagement point. Sometimes it pops up, but sometimes I actually have to put my foot behind it and pop it out. Any ideas? Again, it didn't start until I had the clutch line repaired. I'm bringing the car back to the indy that did the work, but wanted some ideas from board in advance. Thanks.

Well I can think of a couple of things that this could be. If your clutch was bleed, perhaps the shop forgot to completely tighten the bleeder bolt? Strange I know but it happens. The other thought would be the slave cylinder or master might need to be rebuilt. I can not tell you how often I have had to do this in the past right after having a clutch replaced.

Just a couple of thoughts to consider, I hope that this helps...

Quick follow-up. Turned out the problem was a very small leak where the middle piece of the clutch line joins the back part. Presumably air entered where the fluid was able to come out. Buttoned up tight and clutch now feels fine. Props to Jim Burton and the guys at Eurowerks.
