Clutch Problem
I recently bought this car and it has been good to me, but I have been having a weird problem. When i take my car to high RPMs my clutch pedal sometimes get stuck or feels like its pressed halfway already, but after stopping or continuously pressing it, it feels normal again. I have checked the brake/clutch reservoir and it is filled.
My car is a 2005 C320 and has about 150k milles on it.

Bleed your brake/clutch system starting with the Right Rear wheel, then LR, FR, clutch and lastly FL. The brake bleed points are on the calipers, the clutch bleeder is under a rubber cover on the pass side of the trans bell housing. Be careful with the clutch bleeder; it's attached to the throw out bearing, which is mostly plastic. If you over tighten the screw the plastic may crack, which requires the tranny to be dropped in order to replace that unit. Major $$...
Other than that, the clutch pedal on the 6MT tends to get a bit hard when running hot, but pedal height should not be affected. Dot 4 brake fluid only IIRC, do NOT use dot 5.
