I have a thread here somewhere with all the prices. I'll have to dig it up for you unless you find it before I can. It was last year about this time.

My spring came in today...
I'm gonna go pick it up today as soon as I get a chance.
I think I wasted 7 bucks though..
Usually when its going to stick, the pedal gets very firm and harder to push in than normal
so it probably is that clutch master cylinder..
So i'll be picking one of those up shortly as well.

Keep us posted. If you do get the clutch master cylinder, get it from Rock Auto. It's the cheapest I've found at $50. Most places wanted nearly $200.

After making sure the fluid is full I think I would try bleeding the slave first, cheap and simple and air in the system is the most common cause for the pedal sticking down. The bleeder sticks out the front of the bellhousing and is surrounded by a rubber plug to keep debris out. If the slave develops a leak inside the bellhousing the fluid and clutch dust combo gum up the throwout bearing and the input bearing housing it rides on when you press the clutch pedal. This can easily cause harder operation at speed due to the increased load on the bearing when contacting the clutch pressure plate springs. You can also pull the rubber plug out and inspect inside the bellhousing for signs of fluid leakage, either brake fluid or trans fluid, the dust should be dry and able to be blown away with a blow gun(CAUTION, TOXIC), if it's damp and muddy somethings leaking
