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

mate i had loads and loads of problems around this.

when you bleed the system use some cheap brake fluid and drag it all through and then use the good stuff and pull that through.

its easy to do. someone inside the car on the peddle and someone out side cracking the nipples.

there are 2 nipples. one on gearbox and one on the drivers side, right in front of the scuttle panel. its the same process as bleeding the brakes, get someone inside to pump the pedal and ulternate between the two nippled., once you have pulled all the new cheap stuff through then you need to do the process with the good stuff :thum:

give me a shout if you need a hand. i dont mind helping out

Had the same thing happening with mine. Before you bleed anything, check to see that the spring under the bonnet, just above the gearbox, hasn't come off or just gone weak. Mine had disappeared altogether.
