sticky clutch

[Tommeke]

For a few weeks now, I have some troubles with my clutch. From time to time it happens that, after pushing the pedal in, it only returns halfwy. Before shifting a have to pull it back with the foot to push it back in again.
Has womeone had the same problem and/or knows the solution to the problem?

I had a somewhat similar problem that was due to flexi pipe underneat the car leaking fluid. When fluid was low pedal would only come up by lifting it back up again with my foot. Clutch action was poor when it was like this and couldn't change gear with it sometimes. Whenever I topped up the fluid again it worked fine for a while until fluid went low again. Had to change the flexi pipe underneath. Could only get it from dealer.

Try bending the pedal over to the left. I have to do mine every so often as it rubs on the bottom of the steering columm

had the same problem with mine and it turned out to be the nylon bush on the bottom of the pedal had worn.
replaced it with a steel one and a blob of grease and its been fine so far.
i also replaced the damper pipe with a flexi hose from a local hydraulics place at the cost of a tenner.
