I would try and bleed the slave cylinder first. Then check to see if it is binding.
I've only seen one slave cylinder fail and that was on a car that sat a lot.

I went through this problem very recent. search: dead, sticking clutch pedal

Do not go directly to the clutch if there isn't tall tale signs of the clutch was the originating problem. As others have mentioned, check for leaks. Smell the fluid or if it is green then it is likely leaking brake fluid. Remember clutch and brake share the same reservoir.

My issue ended up being the clutch line. Two lines, upper and lower. At the center of those lines mine failed because it was overtightened and thus a crackturned into a nice leak.

If there is no leak, then try bleeding the line. As you mentioned, evomoto.com has the best tutorial how to bleed the line. Almost the same sh*t as bleeding your brakes but will need a helping hand!

If you notice it helps and comes back, check again for that leak. The hardline can have hairline cracks that are hard to see and cause it.

Best solution IMO, would be the 1piece clutch line. I forget by who but just do a quick search and it'll come up as it's the only one on the market which is also available through the forums vendors!
