Sounds like a bad master cylinder.  
I would replace master and slave.

I suspect that either it is a mismatch of parts, something caught between the clutch plate and either the flywheel or pressure plate or the clutch plate was installed facing the wrong direction.

I’d side with @circuitsmith on this one, it could be something mechanical in the clutch, but on a 2006, most likely the clutch master cylinder simply needs replacement.

“once in awhile everthing will work good”

IMO that rules out incorrect or mis-installed parts.
