Default clutch pedal sticks a wee bit..

when im at a stop on a slight incline, in gear, slowing letting off, the clutch pedal sticks just a little bit then lets off. is there a way i can lube it or something instead of taking it somewhere. i kinda think it only does it when i dont give it much gas, but i dont work the clutch and give it gas at the same time cuz my clutch reeks and its not good for it, says the ppl that put in my clutch. what do u guys think i should do?

The process is so easy that you forget to check the fluid level. Ask an assistant to monitor the lever while you work. Start by filling the reservoir with new, clean DOT 4 brake fluid*. Next place a small, preferably clear tube on the bleed nipple. Put the other end of the tube into a cup partially filled with fluid. Loosen the nipple one turn. Depress the clutch pedal fully and let it return without assistance. Repeat with a few second pause between depressions. Notice the fluid going into the cup. When a solid stream is emitted from the tube without any air bubbles, hold the pedal to the floor and tighten the nipple. The clutch pedal should feel firm and clearly disengage the clutch. If not, repeat the bleeding process. Don't forget to check the fluid level.

same as bleeding the breaks mate and it uses the same filler just locate the slave cylinder on the gearbox and do the same as you would do the breaks and keep the reservoir topped up

You are riding the clutch, and the burning smell is you burning your clutch.

You just need more practice on where the clutch engagement point is and how to engage it quickly on an incline.
