Yes Happened to me ALL DAY
My clutch pedal was feeling a little tight and seemed to be sticking in general since I got my SSR Fri nite.
Drove to the LA Auto show this afternoon. No sweat until I got on the 10 and into stop and go traffic. At first the clutch pedal was sticky where a couple of positions it seemed to hang up briefly. As the traffic/stop and go continued the clutch gradually got worse until it starting staying on the floor even with my foot off the pedal. At this point I'm sure the drivers around me thought I couldn't drive a stick.. At one point I had to get my toes underneath the pedal and pull it up which made for an interesting launch in traffic. I fould that if I only depressed the pedal about half way (just far enough to change gears or start moving) it would work and not get stuck. By the time I got to the parking garage it was pretty much stucking any time I used it which made for some challenging driving on the uphill ramps when I had to stop then start again.
The drive home was better only because there was less traffic but the clutch was still sticking. I sure the cop next to me at the traffic light thought I was just baiting him - not sure I could have explained the clutch pedal to him but he just went on his way.
SSR is going in for service tomorrow for the clutch pedal. I sure hope they fine the problem.
