clutch problem

I have an 03 evo with 22,XXX miles on it. the car is not a daily drving car and i only drive it on weekends. The car was all stock till about 800 miles ago, i put a intake,BOV, and turbo back exhaust on it.

Here's the problem: last night im driving home and my clutch is getting stuck almost at the floor. it ingages fine, then when i let out the clutch it stays almost at the floor. i pulled it out with my foot and tried it again, and it was fine. About 3 times later it does it again. i pulled out once more with my foot and now it ingages at a different point than it used to and it feels like the clutch pedal is actually sticking out more (i didn't pull it out hard, just enought to get it back to normal). What do you all think it may be. new clutch time? thank you in advance........

took the car to mitsubishi today and they said that i need a new clutch. they said that they put it up on the rack and could see that the throw out bearing was comming apart, so the clutch needs to be replaced. has anyone else had this happen to them? can you see the throw out barring comming apart just by looking up at the car? it's gonna run me about 1400 to get the new one since the clutch was only warrentied for 12 months....... so all help appreciated, thanks.

My clutch started going out around 25000...... I bought my car used. So I was expecting it really. The stock clutches are booty from what I hear from most.....

i believe i have figured it out. decided to look at it myself and i found out that the clutch line was connected but not as tight as it should be since it is leaking fluid. so now i get to take it in today to have them fix it and bleed the line.
