if its a classic this happened on mine you have to pull it up with your foot ??. its the spring in the pedal assemble knackered and wont pull the pedal all the way back ,, i replaced mine problem solved ,, was a bit of a **** to fit though

If its a classic look at the clutch pedal and there will be a brass return dod with a 10mm nut on it. slacken the nut and turn the brass rod about 3mm to make it longer, that should sort it mate.

Default Start of Master / Slave cylinder going...

Hello mate,
If a Classic, then IMHO - As above, but try the spring first - much cheaper! No experience of New-age, but cannnot believe they would be a different set up?

These are the symptons that I had and was a new slave / Master. Not hugely expensive, but cheaper to do yourself. I got tucked up by a garage who assured me it would be covered under a warrenty insurance, and then charged me £300 odd quid - not impressed.

If I had known that, I would have done the job myself with Blueprint parts.

Mart.

as above,the reason ur pedal sticks/doesnt return will be due to air in the system,either bleed the system & while your at it check for damp fluid leaks around the slave cylinder. If you pull the rubber boot back on the cylinder & its wet then theres ur problem. Not expensive to replace if u go on e-bay icpmark sells genuine subaru items for around £40 & should take you around 20 mins to replace & bleed.
Just loosen the bleed nipple and attach a length of snug fitting pipe on the nipple & draw through the fluid with a big syringe then tighten the nipple,that way you can do it all on ur own.

I had this problem a week ago. see my earlier post. takes 5 mins to do and your clutch will return. It costs nothing.
