Default Clutch got stuck!!!

Ok I finally broke my car in and I was taking it for a test drive. I power shift and when I did the clutch pedal did not want to go down...it got stuck...this is on a b16Sir2 on a 1994 civic ex. It is a cable tranny with the hasport cable to hydraulic conversion kit. When I power shift it got stuck...so I pulled over to the side for a few minute and after like 5-10 minute I was able to push the clutch in but it was stuck for a while...don't want this to happen again...any ideas?

Did you install your clutch? yourself?

You need to re-bleed the system and check the hydro-cable conversion for binding where the slave pushes up on the lever. Had that problem a few years ago...adjusted everything and it was gravy.

The clutch isn't broken.

Yes I did install everything myself but it was working fine...I have done this many times. But this is my first time doing it with a conversion kit...and that sucker got stuck...I doubt the pressure plate and clutch are broken for the simple fact that when it get's stuck if you leave it alone for a few it works again and the clutch feels fine...its just the pedal that get's either hard to push in or it gets stuck to the floor.

Mine got like that but that was because my slave cylinder went out. Changed it out and it runs smooth now.

I took my car out for a test drive and the clutch seemed fine except when I shift at higher rpm then I lose the clutch pedal and I have to pull over until i get pedal again...takes about 2 minutes before I can get a good pedal to take off again. I don't power shift but if I run each gear up to at least 6k rpm and i try to shift at that high rpm i shift successfully but I lose the pedal after that...no pressure at all..I have to wait a while before it gets pressure again...any ideas?...an no I am not power shifting...it drops about 2k almost before I shift...it just seems to do this at high rpms...sometimes when I start the car I lose clutch pedal but thats sometimes...and I have not hydraulic fluid leak so I am ok there
