Title: clutch pedal stuck half way/not returning
Post by: hcmzah on January 19, 2026, 11:02:08 pm
it seems like my car wants to have all the problems right now

im having an issue where my clutch pedal is getting stuck halfway on return sometimes. it mainly happens when im braking and coming up to a junction/roundabout.
especially on dual carriageways/motorways when im going 50mph+. i then have to pull the pedal back up and keep pumping it so i can change gear.
in the mornings, the clutch has little pressure and is low, so i also have to pump it before driving.

i've already changed the clutch master cylinder, bleeder block, changed and bled the fluid.

i've also had a clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder replacement a year ago. could the slave have gone again?
