Clutch pedal not returning to top
So lately I have noticed that my clutch pedal does not return all the way to the top after you release it, comes maybe 2/3 up.
car is a 93 SI with GSR
Clutch master was replaced last summer so I dont think its that. Car is turbo'd and my down pipe is VERY close to the slave cylinder maybe it cooked it if thats possible. Problem seems to have occured after I ran an un heat wrapped DP.
I hope its not my pressure plate but the clutch does not slip at all

Re: Clutch pedal not returning to top
also check the slave cylinder for leaks/movement when you press the pedal. how many miles on the clutch? you may have a broken pressure plate.

Re: Clutch pedal not returning to top
tossed another slave cylinder I had on there tonight but didnt have time to bleed it out will do that tomorrow. I did flush the line out though and alot of black ish came out.
Havent noticed any leaking fluids.
I have no clue on miles on the clutch, its been in there for 3 years but the car is only driven in the summer and mainly on weekends. I would think if the pressure plate was broken it would slip? motor is an LS on 15lbs with a gt35r. Clutch is an LSD motorsports 6 puck sprung......I guess if it was slipping slightly I may not notice but you would think you could smell it

Re: Clutch pedal not returning to top
I had a similar problem with a prelude I owned in the past. I would press in the clutch and the pedal would just stay at the floor. It ended up being the slave cylinder. Just check the basics and work from there.
I hope its not something broken in the tranny like a pressure plate stated earlier, and its just a simple fix. Good luck to ya man.
