Does it stick down, up, or midway, or is it just jerky. If just jerky it is probably a mechanical problem in the pedal box. I had this on another type of car and changed the clutch, had the clutch changed under warranty. Two master cylinders and a slave. Really flummoxed me. It was binding in the pedal box itself. Bit of a nightmare job as the pedal box had to come out for a bit of welding. The stop that stops the pedal completely going to the floor had sheered off allowing the clutch operating rod into the master cylinder to travel too far down the bore.
Worth checking.
