Default clutch goes to floor and doesnt come back up?

i have searched but only found info for hydraulic trannies where yall have a slave cylinder...mine is a cable tranny which is y i made a thread of my own..


anyway, i just installed my new ACT clutch with Fidanza flywheel 310 miles ago, the thing was almost broken in! anyway, pulling out of a friends house last night the car shuts off...so i go to start it up again and notice the clutch was stuck to the floor, had to pull it back up with my foot..im not sure what u call this but the black bracket so to speak that attaches to the clutch cable near the tranny is quite loose and u can move it up and down with ease. im not sure though, so if yall have any ideas id be most appreciative!

I would suspect release bearing.
Mine did the exact same thing, and that was the reason.

But you might want to get some second, third opinions, as dropping a tranny is a PITA, and I would make sure that was the reason if I were you.

DId you replace the release bearing when you got the ACT?
If you didn't, increased stress from stronger pressure plate might accelerate premature failure...

But when i had my ACT, everything was fine till i sold my car..

I've heard that's what happens if you don't replace the release bearing spring. It's not included with a new release bearing. I'm not positive that's what the spring is but i've heard of several instances where this 3 dollar spring broke and the tranny had to come out again to change it.
