Acura forum is not so good...need help

[Huskymaniac]

The clutch on my Acura TL is acting wonky. The baffling part is that it is intermittent. Sometimes the clutch will grab at a much lower pedal position than normal. Usually when it does this it also sticks or returns very slowly. On some mornings the clutch will not fully disengage when I press it to start the car. If I press the pedal, put it in neutral, release the pedal and press it again, the car starts fine and I can easily put it into reverse.

It is a 2005 TL with 136K miles on it. The first thing I tried was to replace the master cylinder. It worked fine for a few days and then the problem returned. It seemed to return gradually. I had my mechanic do the MC because it was noisy and I was going to replace it anyways. And the itermittent nature of the problem made me suspect the hydraulics. I don't know if he flushed the system with new fluid or just bled it.

Any suggestions?
