Default Bad Clutch Problem! Need Help

Okay I don't know what is wrong with my car is fine one moment and then it went bad.

This is what problem:

When i go to 1 gear my clutch pedal presses all the way down but doesn't come back up but the clutch still engages without the clutch coming back up
cause my car creeps forward and nearly stalls out i have to pick the clutch back up with my feet so i can switch to the next gear.

Any1 know whats wrong with my pedal?!?!?! Please help?!?!

i have had the same problem with my past cars, and it was just air in the clutch lines, might wanna bleed 'em and fill it up again, but first check the level, might not be enough fluid. if your clutch is fine, its probably something stupid like that. GL

My '06 TC has about 40k miles on it.

I dont drive like a maniac.

I dont shift like a madman.

I've had my master cylinder go out. (looks like its gone out again)

I've had my pedal do this where it just sits on the floor.

-

The master cylinder can usually be spotted by the brake light coming on while shifting.

The pedal sitting on the floor is from a nut under the pedal coming loose.

I took my car to the dealer for warranty repairs on both of these, since everything's stock... hope this helps.

interesting that my clutch is doing the exact opposite. it became way too stiff as of last night and wont let me shift without repeated pumping, during which it will return to normal feel. it is going thru this on every shift, but I can manage without the clutch in an emergency except for 1st gear.

Clutch does not disengage (This is taken from a Scion tC shop manual)

Its one of these things:
Clutch pedal (Free play is out of adjustment) CL-5
Clutch line (Air in line) -
Master cylinder cup (Damaged) CL-12
Release cylinder cup (Damaged) CL-16
Clutch disc assembly (Out of true) CL-19
Clutch disc assembly (Runout is excessive) CL-19
Clutch disc assembly (Lining is broken) CL-19
Clutch disc assembly (Dirty or burned) CL-19
Clutch disc assembly (Lack of spline grease) CL-19

Honestly I would try bleeding the clutch first. Its not that hard....forgot to take a pic of the clutch bleeder plug...


ok heres the brake resovoir


brake master cylinder


and the clutch master cylinder


Btw I sent you a PM too JINeration.

well... my clutch is disengaging... but only after repeated pumping of the clutch. it is stiff (too much so for stock - feels like a stage 2) to push down until pumped several times, but otherwise is behaving normally.
