clutch pedal is sticking the clutch seems fine its the last inch or so it doesnt return to its normal position. now i have checked both the springs and cleaned/greased it all and WD40 the cable but its even worse!!!

Mine did that for a while until I reset the clutch cable. undo the the end at the gearbox and push it back and forth and that should reset it IIRC.

If it wont it looks like a new cable im afraid

Mine's started to do this a little since I fitted the new cable. I noticed that without the cable, the pedal is spring assisted? I guess I need to clean the spring and lube up the moving parts?

Yeah and if the above dosnt work, push the cable in and out when its not clipped underneath on the subframe as well too, its only held by a push clip.

Remove the spring on the pedal, it was a recall when they were more or less new.

drove it work today and its worse, seems like i really have to force the pedal down to change gear, the bite point is about 2-3cm from the lowest point of the pedal is this too low?

really hard getting into reverse aswell, keeps crunching Sad

i dont think it is, theres no judder/slipping and bite feels like it always has, its just the damn pedal/cable etc wont return to their normal position.

Have cleaned all the springs etc but still no joy. Will take the cable off tomorrow and grease it up/clean it and see if that sorts it

As Carl said, remove the spring. He took mine off a year ago and all is well.

remove the spring from the top of the clutch peddle when faulty it makes the clutch peddle stick and makes the peddle sit to high. i think the clutch is on the way out. gets stiff a new cable is a temp fix but it will go the same as the old one in a short time . fitting a new clutch and cover will make it smooth as

Lubricating the clutch lever arm might help.

sorry to bring this thread back to life but it is relevant as I have the exact same problem...

Can anyone confirm, does this spring simply need removing or replacing? From what I can make out about, it just looks like it need removing all together?

clutch cable is probably the easiest job on the f**ker other than a shaft change
