This may be the 'hanging clutch' syndrome.
Sometimes you can replace the clutch pin with a bolt to let the pedal return easier, sometimes it can be the clutch cylinder.
My car suffers from this every now and again, but at present, I can't be arsed to sort it!
May be worth a search on Rennlist, seems to be a fairly common thing on 964's, but I've know idea if the N/GT has the same components as more normal cars.

Happened a bit on rs cs , not uncommon , weak cylinder does nt help............if it happens more than a couple of times get it done ..............or buy pointy shoes to help pull it up!
Think it happened to Dr Johnny on way to Spa earlier this year ,main agent fiddled and sent him on his way has nt happened again.

Des,
Hook your toe under and away you go. I get it after trackdays sometimes. The build up of heat in the hydraulics seems to cause the pedal to stick down. Happens once or twice a year and the previous owner had the same. The Tech said it was fine "they all do that". I pump the pressure up a bit by pumping my foot on the pedal and it goes away. If you get a permanent fix then let me know!

Makes sense, we gave it some Big Hammer day before, will keep pumping!!![]

So far just an exhaust tighten up by my local OPC, my fault misjudged a speed hump car is lower that my old one, and a stuck clutch pedal otherwise seems very tight in all areas. Passed MOT within hours of import and just had a big service with all new bits by previous owner. The car has been little used in the last couple of years.

Happened to mine a couple of years ago. Had a new slave cylinder and pipe fitted, hasn't happened since. Not expensive either, from memory.

Vic's right, it happened to me on the way to Spa this year. However, I got some warning. When I was driving off the ferry in Amsterdam I noticed that the clutch felt a little lower than usual, but worked fine. With each gear change the clutch would get lower and lower until it was on the floor. The mechanic just yanked the pedal up again and all was well after that.
I haven't spoken to a mechanic yet over here but I think I may get a new cylinder etc just to be sure. The car's going to Weltmeister before long so I will see what they say.

Sorry Fella its nothing to do with yer problem, email me and I'll tell you a Horror story
Just a quirk of the 964/RS there are always little things new which just go away particulalry noises, hearing new noises every day, you just learn to carry on and drive the car......new suspension creak yesterday, and then it's gone, then a bit of steering whine, then it's gone, a bit of whirr, then it's gone, shake and rattle, then it's gone, I think a lot has got to be use and how and where driven, the car seem to react as if it's alive........talking to me......even locked me out errrrrrrrr!!![&:]
