Default Why is the Clutch Peddle Sticking?

This issue just popped up last weekend, car had to be grounded. Issue is the clutch peddle sticks, it happens far more in gears than out of gear which does not make that much sense to me. No noise. You just push in the clutch, and when the clutch peddle rises it is choppy either that or it does not raise completely and then suddenly does causing the unsafe tire squeal and brief loss of control. Pushing the peddle down you can sometimes feel the chop, sometime not.

I have a TKO 600 with a Center Force clutch, McLeod HTB with a Tilton MC.

Fluid looks good and is all there.

All I can come up with is;

A- The HTB blew, seals went. If the seal went shouln't it be leaking? Why no loss of fluid?
B- The MC went - seals blew making it choppy. I have a hard time imagining this.
C- Something wrong with the clutch diaphram. But what?

Why all the sudden?
