    Question clutch sticking

    hmm........ i've searched but failed to find anyone else whos had this problem (or posted about it). on the 3g when i drive normaly (shifting at about 2.5-3k) the clutch sometimes does not release when i push the pedal down, it will still be in gear the same as it is normaly. other times though, it shifts fine. and then occasionaly it will resist when i start pushing down (and not releasing), but at like 1/2 the way down it will just drop to the floor like it should. anyone have an idea whats wrong? i know the answer is prob a new clutch cause i've already adjusted it some but that didn't help much.
    oh yeah, i forgot, another thing it does is like when i'm just sitting on a slope (ex- in a parking lot), i'll role slowy like just to another spot. well this works fine if i'm in neutral w/ the clutch down, But have the clutch down and i'm 1st or 2nd, it will make a light grinding sound that gets worse as i role faster.

    i'm not sure..., but could possibly be that you need to adjust the cable....

    i don't think it is your cable. it sounds like your pressure plate worn out.

    yeah, your right shepherd, just got it diagnosed today that my pressure plate is on its way out. i'll prob get a new clutch next month when i take it in to get an inspection.
