Clutch pedal sticks on up movement
While driving today, the clutch pedal got really hard to release up smoothly out of first gear. It just seems to have more resistance at a certain point before engagement and then it would just pop or release past the hard resistance point. I end up gassing too much because I'm expecting the clutch to have gone further up than it did, but instead it's stuck at some point lower in the travel. Today was a pretty hot day so not sure if that contributed to it. I'm due for a tranny flush which I haven't had time to do yet.

I had the same problem before. Try bleeding the clutch first. After that if it doesn't work, it can most probably be the slave cylinder of the clutch failing because it can't hold pressure. Happened to my car before. I step on the clutch and shift and when I release it, the clutch would stop at some point when coming up and then just pops up. Then it deteriorated to the point that I had to use my foot of drag the pedal up. Mostly due to clutch slave cylinder. Hope this helps!

Let's hope the bleed or slave cylinder is the culprit...
If you work on your car, bleeding the slave it pretty simple if not, I can't imagine a shop charging you more than an hour of shop labor to bleed the clutch...

Could be the clutch booster on the clutch master cylinder, at least that's what my dealer has diagnosed with mine.
Yet to have the work done and no fault is present at the moment.

Called Carlsen and the service guy on the phone said if it sticks like that, it's the slave and quoted roughly $700-800 for the slave cylinder. Does that sound about right?
