I dunno whats going on with my clutch pedal and it just started doing it a month ago. here are some instances of what happens. at a dead stop like me waiting at a light i tend to press and hold the clutch pedal down and wait while im in gear for the light to turn green. when the light turns green i release the clutch but it will not come up and i would have to use the tip of my foot to pull the pedal back up. second instance is sometimes when driving under normal conditions i'll shift normally and the same problem happens between shift usually around 2, 3 and lease 4 gear! what could be the problem? i did check for fluid and i did bleed the clutch and it seem to work for a day or two then it came back? any feedback would be much appreciated.

I've been having the same problem for the past year and a half.
It's your Clutch Slave Cylinder (for pushing the pedal back to normal position) and possibly your Clutch Master Cylinder. My local shop quoted me at $350 to replace both, and I think only 100 for the master (Slave is harder to get to). It's a nuisance, and it can cause an accident. I would replace them (along with new fluids) asap. -TC -------------------- Live your life for yourself. Don't hold back for anything or anyone.

Slave or master cylinder.
Check both for fluid around them. Master will be inside the car by the top of the pedal, slave will be dripping underneath itself. -------------------- |

or if all else fails check the clutch return spring. seems unlikely but when i did my manual tranny swap i had to order a brand new one over the busted used one i had.

Had the same problem last year. Replaced master & slave cylinders but clutch would still drop every once in a while. Turns out there was a sharp bend in the copper clutch fluid tubing that was hampering the fluid flow. Wish I had spotted that earlier, but no problems after replacing that bit of pipe!
