I've driven manual transmission all my life. From toyotas to hondas to nissans and mitsubishis. All of them are different. When i first got the g35, i drove it like the other cars, and the clutch pedal got stuck.. then i realized that it was the way I drove and not hardware problems that made the clutch get stuck.

For the first time I took the car to the track. I launched it aggressively the first time and it was kinda getting stuck, the second time i launched it in a different way and no problems, i launched it again like i did on the second try and still, no problems. I was reading when i first got the car about clutch sticking, some people say its the clutch fluid, some say its the way you drive, etc. I think it is the way the car is driven, or atleast when the accelerator is pressed when the clutch is being engaged.
