[alfa] Spider Clutch Issue

[Tarus Balog <alfa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gang:

I have a 1986 Spider with 166K miles on it.

I have a very intermittent, but unnerving problem.

Occasionally, I'll depress the clutch pedal, and it will stay down.

Immediately, I'll press down again, and it always comes up properly. 
It's unnerving because sometimes it happens, say, when I am 
downshifting to enter a stream of traffic. At those times I wish I was 
wearing brown trousers. (grin)

It tends to happen only when the weather is hot, and I have been 
driving for some time. It happens on both upshifts and downshifts. Once 
it happens, it won't happen again for some time.

Clues?
