The clutch pedal becomes intermittently disengaged.

The first time it happened I got in to start it, put the clutch down and after turning the key realized it was still in gear. The pedal just hung there completely disconnected. Next day called for a tow to the dealer, but it had restored itself!

Two other times it has happened (once while driving), I can pull back on the pedal very hard and it seems to fix it.

Any thoughts ?

...things cost, you'd think they would last longer! Mine seem to last about 30K-50K miles on my 90Q. Atleast it's an easy fix.
