Last night, it was cold as ####. I dont know if it makes a difference or not if I tell you that but anyway, my clutch was like not popping all the way back up. I dont know why, it was kinda cool though cause all I had to do was release the clutch a tiny bit and the car would move and then the clutch would stay down but not all the way down. It was just up enough so that the car would move. Anyway, this is not normal, I had to use my foot to bring the clutch back up to normal height. I was wondering, could my problem be that the clutch spring needs some grease or something, like some WD-40<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> Cause I have been hearing some squeaking recently as well, but I havent had to time to fix the squeaking, so what do you guys think>?

that's possible, I think it's more likely though that you've got some air in the lines. Has this happened more than once? Did it go away by itself?

thanks for replying transient. Actually, I drove today like ####(going upwards of 90+) and switching under high RPMs and just switching as much as possible. I think I drove a total of like 15-20 miles in the hour I went down to test my car this morning. Anyway, the problem I had yesterday did not happen today so I'm pretty happy but shit like that doesn't just appear and go away forever. These lil kinda problems come back to haunt. So, anyway, to answer your other question, it didnt just go away, I brung the clutch back up using my foot last night but after I brung it up that one time, it never happened again, weird right? Anyway, shit like that is probably something like air right? I hope its not something extreme like what happened to 96sechick(search clutch in tech talk and ull find it). So does air sound like the culprit, if it is, I'll be a very happy man.

Yeah. Sounds like air, but if it keeps happening, I'd check your master and slave cylinders.

the slave master cylinder could be going <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
thats what mine was doing before it hit the floor and never came back up
I would say something to do with the slave cylinder. My SS Braided brakes lines cut through one of the clutch lines and made my clutch do the same thing. Put some brake fluid in there and then keep it open and then pump the clutch a bunch and see if it bleeds into the system or not.
