Well, this seemed like the least-unfit section to post this. For awhile, the clutch had a soft feel to it, and attempts at bleeding the slave yielded sputtering and spitting now matter how much was bled, the screw just didn't work right. So fast forward a few months and I'm driving home from class at an exuberant rate, and the clutch pedal sticks to the floor. After promptly crapping myself, I pull over and free the pedal from the phantom catching. I thought that one or both cylinders in the clutch circuit were going, but the sticking pedal has not returned (albeit no spirited driving) and after adjusting the slack out of the pedal, it feels nice and firm.

Someone on RX7club.com posted on another person asking about a similar experience and said that a maladjusted pedal could cause it to stick...any truth to this? It's approaching two weeks since it happened, and the clutch pedal hasn't stuck since.
