clutch pedal not returning to top.

I have a 2009 HHR SS 5speed. The clutch pedal doesn't return to the top. I have to put my toe under the pedal and it pops back up. Does any body have an ieea what could be causing this?
​​​​​​​Thanks Boomer

There could be an issue with the return spring or the pivot for the clutch pedal is sticking

Check the return spring on the pedal.

(OK. A little weirdness on the site. I posted my 1st response and Oldblues post wasn't there. Now it is with a time stamp almost an hour before mine.
What gives Oldblue ? Are you messing with me using those Mod skills ? )

Even our posts sometimes go to moderation(seems random). I check for these things several times a day, but you folks to the east wake up(and post) well before me(time zone thing). OB had 2 posts in the queue.

Yes, but it's usually the spring that causes the pedal to fall.
