clutch staying down
 

hi
just wondering if it is normal for a clutch on my98 turbo to stay half depressed when given some welly but when get back to normal driving springs back to normal starting position, what it seems like is when giving it a bit of boot it is reducing gear change speed by reducing the play in the clutch travel, by the way it is a quickshift short box any help would by grteful

This happened on my mate sti 5, but after a bit it wouldn't come back up at all, :eek:
Had a look & the pipe behind the servo had an egg in it. & it was letting the pipe flex & not let the clutch back up. Options get a new pipe or get a braided on made up for about a £10. Problem solved.
Very simlare to the brake line hoses.
:D:D:D

Hope this helps

Had the same on my93 wrx, the garage said it was a return spring,fixed it and never done it since

Touch wood

I have heard of several occurrences of this and similar happenings that have been put down to the slave cylinder sticking.

Hi everyone ,had the same problem on my MY98 and it was the return spring,about £7-£8 from a main dealers and about 3 mins work and has never happened again.Check if yours is broken,its under the intercooler,get a mate to operate the clutch and your'll find the arm(its a bit difficult to see )

thanx you guys, but y does it only happen when i give it som welly, and i dont mean the clutch i mean the engine

had the same thing on my sti2, only happened when i booted it, turned out to be the cluth return spring (under intercooler i think). garage fixed it for nowt, just put on a new spring. no problems since.

hope your problem is as easy fixed ;- )
