Do I need to bleed the clutch?

Whenever I let the car sit more than two or three days, the car will not go into gear until I pump the clutch 10 times or so.
Also sometimes the clutch pedal gets stuck and I have to drag it up to original position? What do I need to replace?

Thanks,

GT2 clutch slave update time!
Had a heck of a history with mine. First the reservoir in front was running over and leaking pentosin. I started to take a little out about every 4 days while keeping an eye on the power steering reservoir. Then the problem you describe started. Pedal would be laying on floor, would pry up and pump a few times and be ok, but the pentosin level in the front was going down and I would have to top off. (being pushed or sucked back to power steering reservoir).
Had the GT2 kit installed and never looked back. Best thing I ever did or had done. Clutch works fantastic now.

do you guys use the adapter from evoms or do you make a new hole in the tranny to put the GT2 slave where it is suppose to be?

EVOMS for me. I'm sure anyone can duplicate their kit and save some money, but for me their R&D, product support and warranty outweighed the savings. Couple threads on here about some GT2 slaves and or masters that were bad in some kits and EVOMS took care of it. My indy shop talked it over with EVOMS on the phone and got some hints and tricks on the changeout before they started, saved me some money in labor hours.

Thanks,

Bleeding the clutch is a simple process but I've found it is better to do it while pressurizing the reservoir with a motive bleeder....
