check with the shop and see if they used a high temp and most important fresh fluid.i think the fluid has a shelf life of 4/6 weeks after that it gets water in it and it 'boils' thats why your pedal fail when hot

Well, dealer *did not* bleed or replace clutch fluid, instead, deciding on an inspection, that came up negative.

Suggestion
The car was "hot" at the time --- had just been parked for 2-3 minutes after a good run of about 10 to 15 minutes.

By "hot" I mean simply that I had been running strong for 5-10 minutes, then stopped (engine on) for 2-3 minutes or so, and on re-engaging 1st gear the first time is when the clutch pedal became temporarily sticky.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I experienced a "sticky clutch pedal" recently. Releasing clutch in 1st gear, and it only came back about 1/3 to 1/2 from the wall. Pulled over immediately and turned off engine. Played with pedal roughly half-dozen times --- pushing full in and releasing, then repeat, etc --- and eventually the pedal popped back out to its normal position. Re-started, and off I went without any more (apparent) problems.
However, I am curious if anyone else has seen this, and what the remedy or consequences might be.
N.B. The car was "hot" at the time --- had just been parked for 2-3 minutes after a good run of about 10 to 15 minutes.
I see your car is an 06, and you said it was hot at the time. Has the clutch come back?
This sounds a lot like the clutch slave problem that affected some 07/08 cars, from a bad batch of slaves, but I've never heard of that effecting 2006 cars.
Your car might benefit from a fluid flush. Have you ever changed the brake/clutch fluid?
I believe there were some late-build '06 cars caught in the "bad clutch slave" snafu -
To the OP- you might want to talk with a dealer and see if your VIN is in the range for the replacement campaign. If not, you should keep a very watchful eye on it. You should have flushed the brake (and thus clutch) fluid at the two year mark, if not, it might be something you want to get done.

i thought something similar was happening to my
cayman
but it seems that the footwell mat was catching on the pedal when it was fully depressed.
very annoying thought

OK, if it came back, then it's intermittent. That means you dodged the loose pressure plate bullet and are probably looking at a slave issue.
Talk to your dealer, tell them to check your car against workshop campaign W-802. If it gets stuck again, pull off the road and when safe, reach down and pull it up. It should get you home.
i see you had the clutch serviced [fluid] but you said "hot" so i think it still can be a fluid issue. check with the shop and see if they used a high temp and most important fresh fluid.i think the fluid has a shelf life of 4/6 weeks after that it gets water in it and it 'boils' thats why your pedal fail when hot
Interesting...High temp (racing) fluid was installed in June. Haven't noticed any issues with the brakes. If the fluid were off, would this affect the brake feel as well?
By "hot" I mean simply that I had been running strong for 5-10 minutes, then stopped (engine on) for 2-3 minutes or so, and on re-engaging 1st gear the first time is when the clutch pedal became temporarily sticky.
Well, dealer *did not* bleed or replace clutch fluid, instead, deciding on an inspection, that came up negative. Hopefully no more issues with a sticky clutch pedal...
At least the wimpy horn is fixed!
if it happens again and its a real hot day and you have been really running the car hard it maybe the fluid...i,m a tad surprised the dealer didnt flush it..did they "stick" the fluid for water
