    The clutch pedal in my 2005 nissan altima is engaging but lately while driving, the clutch suddenly presses all the way to the floor while i attempt to shift gear. The pedal won't come back on its own, and shifting becomes difficult if not impossible. I almost caused an accident maneuvering my foot to unstick the pedal from the floor, while in traffic the other day. Then, it suddenly went back to its typical…

After stopping and restarting once or twice the problem will disappear. In traffic this is very dangerous. It happens 2 or 3 times a year. *tr
