Default Sticking clutch pedal

Hi guys, my clutch pedal sticks down all the time and is starting to get on my nerves abit. Have read somewhere that bleeding the system should cure it, any info on how to do this would be appreciated

I dont think you need to bleed system. look at clutch pedal and you will see a brass coloured push rod with a locking nut 12mm iirc. slacken nut and screw the rod out a wee bit 2-4mm this should cure your problem.

Mine does it occasionaly

Often it is a sign that the clutch master cylinder is on its way out

guys it could be that the clutch fluid is old or boiled. trust me i had the issue for a while even with a new master cylinder. you just need to bleed the fluid through really good. get all the old out. then run some new cheap stuff through, and then run it through again. and then run some new stuff through it.
