Well I was starting to move my car closer to the garage i felt a looseness in my pedal. I cant tell if its the actual clutch or the pedal just needing readjustment, but the clutch would engage o.k. the only problem is the pedal doesnt want to pop back into place by its self. Do i need to bleed my clutch or do i need to adjust something? I don't know if this helps but it was really hard to shift into gear at first,but got better after a few shifts. Yes i have searched google and nico forums for similar problems,but didn't get a clear answer.

There's a small plastic bushing between spring and pedal assembly. It breaks and spring eats out the pedal assembly. It eventually snaps, so spring won't engage anymore. Just look at the pedal assembly and see if it's still good.

yes, bleed it again... use a tube and connected it with a plastic bottle for easier bleeding so the fluid won't squirt out everywhere. i had the same problem. i replace the whole system though: brake master cyclinder, slave cylinder.....

Could this be the reason my clutch doesnt want to engage very well?
