Clutch pedal return

Post by Caldwelljj0 »

Hey guys. Question. My clutch pedal is not returing all the way to its released position after I push it. It comes back far enough that the clutch is not engaged, but then slowly moves back the inch or two into fully released position. Does not seem to bounce back the way it used to. Is this an indication of some issue? Anyone know how to adjust it?

Are the pedal shaft & bushings in good shape & lubed properly? Is the release bearing collar moving freely on the bearing retainer sleeve? Do you have the correct length pedal return spring installed? Is the spring stressed & in need of replacement? Is the clutch pedal free travel adjusted correctly? Are the pins used to connect the linkage points worn & binding, are they properly lubricated? Is the pedal shaft rubbing against the floor panels? Are the clutch fork bushings in good shape & lubed properly?
