Default why is my clutch sticking?

I have a 93 coupe ex with a jdm b16a with a type r tranny. i have a clutchmasters stage 3 clutch and a lightened flywheel. I have a hydrolic clutch. The clutch has been in for about 4000 miles with no problems. however just last night when i was driving, the clutch pedal would like stick down sometimes while shifting but it would come back up when i would let up on it. however a couple times at a traffic light it would stick down and i would have to reach down and pull it up with my hand, and then it would be fine for a little while. while its stuck down it feels like there is no pedal pressure. i have replaced the master cylinder and i bled it and bled it and bled it so i'm almost 100 percent sure that there isnt any air in the line, but when i was bleeding it after i pumped the pedal and then opened the bleed the pedal would get stuck down and i would have to pull it up then it would be fine, and thats almost how this feels, do you have any suggestions? let me know, thanks vernon

Most of the time when you replace your master cylinder you need to replace the slave as well.

slave or a leak in your lines. had the same problem with my ek when I switched from auto to manual. I forgot to tighten one of the lines down so it was leaking.
I would say keep an eye on your fluid for a couple of days and if it doesn,t go down then replace or rebuild slave.
