Default 06 Sti trouble starting

So battery seems good. Starts up right away when it wants to. Seems like the problem is the clutch pedal to me. Have to push it in hard and sometimes let it out and push hard once more for it to turn over. Anybody ever have this problem?

Could be a sticky clutch release switch.

Mine does that every once in a while, with no apparent rhyme or reason. Like Kevin said, I think the switch down there just gets stuck a bit. Hasn't bothered me enough to actually replace the switch yet.
