clutch jammed

ok, the car drives. But only when shifting slow, if i shift a little fast or shift normal the clutch padel gets stuck all the way at the bottom for a second or two then pops out. no leaks! any info it started just n w....

i drove home really slow shifting like a granny, depressing the clutch real slow. i turned of the car. i pushed the clutch all the way and released my foot as fast as possible.... it took 3 - 5 seconds to pop back! i pressed slow, it feels wired?

the good news is that annoying squicky sound that the dealer said it is normal when the car is ideling is gone!

any suggestions? covered under warrenty?
