Sticky Clutch Pedal
I recently noticed that after I press in the clutch pedal, it feels like its getting stuck for a brief second and then feels a little scratchy on it way up. I tried the Sticking Clutch Pedal DIY and it didn't work. Is there anything else I can try to fix this?
The only thing that I did not do to follow the DIY 100% is grind down the nipple and the push rod. I cleaned it and re-grease everything, but it still has the feeling.

Could also be a bit of binding where the pedal connects to the shaft of the CMC. I put some grease on the end of my finger and gave all that a good coat and it cured my problems.

Where the clutch spoon thing pivots and goes into the tranny, it splits into 2 fingers that grab on the throwout bearing. Mine had the same symptoms and i looked inside the little clutch slave cylinder port in the tranny and you could see the 2 fingers that grab the throwout bearing were 100% dry and rusty. I reached in with a little brush and greased them and it was a huge improvement.

did you take the big boot off that is connected to the tranny itself?

I am glad you got it remedied.
I tried that on mine and it fixed mine too....for about a week.
I ended up having to replace my throwout bearing and throwout bearing guide shaft and THIS time I made sure and used the proper grease...the Super High Temp Urea grease from Honda. Accept no substitute. If you find you must also go down this path make sure to fill the valley in the throwout bearing with the Urea grease and adequately grease clutch fork pivot points and ends (that you greased in your fix) and the slave rod and cup in clutch fork.
