Default Sticky Clutch

The https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/370.../page__st__150 was performed about 10k miles ago and I just regreased the ends of the forks.

The clutch still still sticks when disengaged for a split second. It's a lot better since I've applied new grease, using the honda brand grease, and wondering what else I could do get rid of the slight stick. The fluid looks good and I've already tried adding a little grease to the cylinder looking thing behind the clutch pedal.

I've only owned the s2k for about a month so I'm still trying to learn the car, its an 01 ap1

To get rid of the slight stick go to walgreens and get the long cotton swabs, dab some of the urea grease, or any grease really on the end, then go under the car and once again disengage the clutch fork by pulling on it. And instead of greasing up the fork ends dab the grease on the metal rod on that sits in the clip and spring, a flashlight helps as does the long cotton swab. Make sure you thoroughly grease the pivot point rod and then reengage it and take it for a spin. Guarantee the stick is gone

Alright, I will definitely try this this weekend, thanks for your input! Is this to grease the TO bearing guide?

The clip that the fork sits in has a spring to keep pressure on it and since its used so often it tends to develop notchy spots , if you pull up a picture of the fork online youll see the little metal rod that clips into it. Thats what you want to grease, its hard to get to the actual guide from under the car through the housing, but if you can try and spread a thin film inside it as well. Dont glob it on because it will just collect debris. Just as long as their both well greased the notch in the clutch pedal will go away guaranteed.
