CM 99 6spd clutch sticking to the floor

My clutch has been getting worse and worse over the last few months and it's time to take action. The clutch pedal sticks to the floor and I have to pop it back with my foot. When it sticks down the clutch is not disengaging, but after popping it back up it feels fine. I've changed the fluid at the m/c with a battery filler several times, but it doesn't last. It seemed to help the first time and the tranny shifted better than ever. I'm to the point where I think I should try bleeding at the slave, but don't want to waste my time. The car has just under 40K miles. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my 99 at 43K miles. It turned out that both the master and slave cylinders were bad. $1700 repair at local Chevy dealer. Now works great.

GOOD LUCK!!!
