17/07/13 02:51 AM17/07/13 02:51 AM #1 So last couple of months been having trouble with my clutch pedal not coming all the way up.It engages clutch fully and there is no slipping.. If I let out the clutch fast the pedal will come all the way up..If I let the clutch out slow it will come up about 95% of the way up.. Master cylinder is full and clutch has been bled the clutch 4 times now..Got a call from Ford dealer saying its the CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH and that's why the pedal is not returning fully. Clutch pedal switch should not have a effect on the clutch pedal travel..Could it be the Clutch assit spring..Slave or CSC..Will be picking car up Tommorow and see if it is fixed.. If not doing u turn driving back leaving keys and saying don't ring me till its fixed properly.It's not effecting how the clutch operates but it's a pain in the arse to keep putting my foot under pedal to raise it the last centimeter.

17/07/13 04:06 AM17/07/13 04:06 AM #6 pedal dropping would suggest air in the system of leaking/bypassing seals in the MC or CSC. I would suggest MC as CSC you would see a drop in fluid level.Edit: if you start the car, put it in first with foot on clutch and sit and wait does the clutch bleed down? IE does it start to disengage

If the system is bypassing/leaking/has a gut full of air internally the pedal helper spring could be pulling the pedal down against the pressure to the point that it either bleeds down and the pedal drops or the air in the system is compressed
