Long time no write...

After retirement, I rarely drive my wagon, after it sits for a while, I find the clutch pedal does not return after pressing. I CAN lift it and pump it enough to shift, then, after driving for a while, it starts behaving mostly normally.

Anyone experience this? clutch master or slave cylinder????

Master cylinder is becoming gummy. 

It could be worth flushing the clutch hydraulic system. 

At worst you might need to replace the master cylinder. Or have the whole system overhauled. 

Also, the clutch pedal when it goes to the floor will not naturally return, at least in my Gen 1 RS Liberty it doesn’t.

Other things to check in addition to whats mentioned above...

Check the pedal assembly under the dash.  Those years can get cracks in the pedal bracket.  Remove and check the pivot pin itself for wear.  I've long since replaced mine with a hardened bolt, washers and locknut.

Is 2006 the a push clutch?  The stamped fork tends to crack overtime.  Hard to check though.  Pull clutch uses forged fork and has no issues.
