Sticking clutch pedal

[particlewave]

Slave cylinder is super easy to replace.
Not sure that's your issue, but it may be. The throw out bearing and fork are pushed back by the pressure plate fingers and those things have A LOT of spring force.

I'd start at the pedal, then slave, then a flush. If that doesn't do it, it may require pulling the transmission to inspect the pressure plate and throw out bits.
