is it a hydraulic clutch? it sounds like you either need fluid, or you need to bleed the clutch.

ya theirs a switch on your clutch the upper one which acts like a starter kill if the clutch isnt pressed all the way down. you can simply jump it with a paperclip or wire after unpluging the switchs wire plug... to see if its just that pin switch, but if it doesnt work then it could be a bad relay.

mine did stick afew times.... i figure its just a sticking switch with it being so cold out. that the switch is just sticking in. but when i instaled my remote starter/alarm i just bypassed that pin switch with a paperclip, now i just HAVE TO BE SURE its in neutral!

you could try look at the upper pin switch and put some oil on your fingers with the clutch pressed all the way down try to reach up at the same time and put some oil on the pin itself that way it lubes it up a bit. that should keep the pin from sticking just work the clutch a few times to try and force the oil into the small gaps and hopefully it wont stick anymore.....
WD-40 spray would also work BUT it would also spray everything else and leave your car with a wd40 smell! best to just rub some oil with your fingers on it.
