Clutch pedal sticking HELP!

I'm sorry if this has been answered I did a small search and found a couple threads on the pedal sticking to the floor. My pedal most of the time comes back up but halfway then flings all the way back up, if I hold it down long enough it sticks to the ground longer. I got two professional opinions both say it's the clutch master cylinder, now my understanding is there are two one lower one higher. One mechanic did not specify other mechanic said the top one to the right of the brake/master cylinder fluid. How can I determine which one is causing the problem... Please help it's very difficult to drive!

It could be the clutch slave as my 04 did a similar pedal issue, replaced the slave, parts and labor a little over 200 bucks

The master cylinder is the one next to the brake booster, the slave cylinder is located on the bell housing.Have you checked to see whether your clutch pedal bracket isnt Fubar ?

It could easily be everything suggested above. Also, check the clutch pedal bracket. It is a well known problem that the spot welds break on this and cause problems.
