Recently, my clutch pedal has been sticking down. It can be pulled back up easily, but not voluntarily as it should. When I depress it it feels like there is little pressure in the hydraulic system. I checked the fluid levels and everything is fine. No leaks either. It was driveable up until today, when I went to put my car into gear and was unable to. The shifter simply would not slide into any gear and I wasnt about to force it. Any ideas??

Sounds like you need to bleed your slave cylinder and if that dose not fix it you may have to replace the slave.
I had that same problem a few years ago.

I see. I asked a subaru specialist in my area who said it sounds like the master cylinder. The slave sounds like a cheaper fix.

Something similar happened to my friends cable clutch, just needed the spring to push the pedal back...Idk if hydraulic is the same or not

Bleed it. Had the same problem and bleeding it fixed it.

Worst case is that your clutch fork is bent or cracked

This is also very common on our cars...
