Just a suggestion since I am also having clutch ailments (grinding in reverse).... You can try to bleed the clutch line. Perhaps there is air in there that is preventing the clutch from properly engaging.

I had a similar problem a while back...I was getting the same noise (throwout bearing) only it went away...then a couple of days later, the clutch was f*%^ed and I was stranded on the side of the road and had to get it towed...the beautiful thing about all of this is, I had just had my clutch replaced about 2000km before, and they didn't replace the throwout bearing like I asked...needless to say, they replaced the clutch with no cost to me...

heh, been there done that.. Sorry to hear about someone else having the same problems... I would probably say that even if you bleed the lines it will eventually be screwed again, the clutch master and slave cylinders are probably the cause of the pedal not popping back, they probably need to be replaced. I would check the master first, it is on the firewall and on the inside of the engine compartment, usually that will fix it. If it doesnt, and you have bled the system and it didnt help, step 2 would be to switch the slave which is near the tranny. If it still has problems, I would then say look at the throw out bearing / flywheel (whatever it is at that point, its gonna get expensive.
All of this is just my opinion, I may be wrong.
Thanks
Why does everything cost " A THOUSAND DOLLARS? "

Jazz, Check your Slave Clutch Cylinder and see if it's bent around the bolt or broken. Time for that Vett. Later,

Hey Jazz, Glad to hear things are better. As you know I am not a mechanic. But here's my two sense worth: Sounds like that clutch bolt lossen itself up, when I was playing with mine I noticed once you go past a certain point, you get a very soft clutch..... Before my slave cylinder went I was getting that grinding sound after stoping then proceeding in first gear. When the slave broke it was messy, clutch fuild all over the place... I guess the best thing to do is to take it to Magnus and have the boys look at it. Education before a Vett, smart move... Later,
