Clutch pedal would return (up) only 2/3, not last 1/3. Clutch plate appears to work fine, no slipping. Trustworthy mechanic says there is a TSB on this issue; replace clutch pedal assembly with redesigned OEM. FOLLOWUP: My mechanic loosened the pedal a little and the problem went away. No replacement needed.

Replaced OEM clutch pedal with RJM Rev 4 AFP Pedal. Original pedal was binding and returning only halfway, especially during spirited driving. This was getting worse over the past couple years. The RJM pedal is AWESOME. Not only is it easier on the leg, it is smoother to engage and disengage. It is also adjustable, but I used the recommended "75" setting.

Pinion seal on differential housing was leaking. Replaced seal. Also, rear differential mount OEM fluid bushing was leaking/empty (had been like that for a long time).
