[Mgs] Clutch pedal sticking down

[gordies garage]

There may be nothing in the foot well for it to catch on, but I'll bet there 
is something in the bell housing.  I've seen carbon throw-out bearings wear 
unevenly to the point that one side of the fork arm has been worn away.  I 
don't believe that it is inconceivable that the fork is catching somehow 
inside the bell housing.
Other than that, you may look at a hose that is collapsed internally 
preventing a release of hydraulic pressure.  But, that wouldn't give the 
feeling of being caught on something.
