964 Sticky Clutch Pedal

[r5gttgaz]

When operating the clutch it sometimes does not return fully and sits around 1-1/2 inch off the top of its travel, the clutch does not slip and it does not affect operation in any way. The garage says it is a knackered master cyl but I thought the return on the pedal would be by a spring and not fluid returning to the master cyl.

Apparently this also happens to 993's? Same set up I would imagine.

try lubing the pivot on the pedal, when you take the wooden board off you will no doubt find all manner of rubbish behind it. Unlikely but could just be bunged up with crap.

possibly crap around the pedals but unlikely. 1st course of action is to get the system properly bled. If that does not help then it is either the master or the slave cylinder. Most likely the slave.

Two things about a hanging clutch pedal.

Firstly the roll pin that the pedal is attached to the linkage with, it can fail after a few years and allows the pedal to rotate slightly.
Secondly the Slave and flexi hose might need replacing, not an easy job, but can be done at home on jacks. I did mine in about 2 hours with nothing more than a jack, axle stand and paitence.
