I have notcied on two occassions, that when my car is driven very gingerly for long periods of time, the clutch pedal fails to snap back. After the car sits for a few minutes, it returns to normal. Anyone else experience this?

 

Mine did it on occasion in the past, I havent had it happen in a while. I assume its a little air stuck in the clutch line, bleed the line and the problem should be solved.

 

Glude: I was thinking the same thing.

 

I had the same problem last year. It got to the point where it was hard to shift. I took the car in to the dealer and they had to replace the entire clutch assembly. They said that the preasure plate was cracking from one half and a spring came out loose. It was covered under warranty. Take it in to have it checkd.

 

Was ur problem constant or did it happen once in a while? I have only had this happen twice.

 

With almost 45 K miles on her, have not had this problem at all. It does sound like a hydraulic clutch problem that the dealer should check out.

 

The only problem is that it is sooo intermittent that they will tell me "Thars nuttin wrong wit ur car." And then Ill start yelling. Maybe Ill take it in

 

The problem grew as time past by. It took about 2-3 weeks untill it finaly made the shifting hard and my clutch was really soft. Oh and the smell horrible.

 

Just thisweekend while I was out all of a sudden clutch started to stick and was only coming up half way and it was extremely tough to shift into gear. After it sits for a while it's back to normal. I took it in once before and the dealership said it was because my fluid was low. I think this will bemy last manual.

 

Thats exactly what happened to me. I dont know if I want the stealership fukcing with my car.
