Default Clutch Pedal Issue

As I'm pulling into my driveway, I notice my clutch pedal felt weird. My clutch still works fine, but whenever I let go of the pedal, it felt like it was getting stuck on something (ie it felt crunchy). Anybody know what this could be from?

Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago... I took it back to the dealer, they just lubed it, and it's working fine

I've had it worse actually...where the clutch felt like it was after-market...a lot of pressure at one point. Mine still feels a tine bit of that not so smooth feeling if i let it up super slow, but other than that, it's fine. You'll just need to lube it up.

Could be a bad throwout bearing. Do you hold the clutch in at stop lights?

Nope. Neutral

Maybe the little rod in the slave cylinder needs some grease then. Other than that I would guess it to say there's a possible leak in the system somewhere or one of the cylinders have gone bad.

Going from cheapest- most expensive fixes:

Lube up the little rod and polish.
Bleed clutch system
Replace cylinders

GL finding a fix for it

Roll by my pad sometime this week, If necessary we can adjust the engagement point. I had to do it twice on my car
