I have bleed the master and slave cylinder but i can't get the clutch pedal to return to the top of the stroke. It seems to sit in the depressed position. Does anyone know what the problem is and how i rectify this?

After you bleed it pull the pedal back up by hand then try it, it should be ok then.

I have tried that. Could it be something to do with the slave cylinder?

Its probably full of air, how did you bleed it ?

The pedal has a return spring, so it won't be affected by air in the system.

I suspect you've broken the pedal box.

Don't stress just yet.

I just changed my Slave Cylinder an hour ago. It took 5 mins to change and over an hour to bleed the stupid thing. I'm still not happy with it, but it's working, so it can wait till another day.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but there are 3 bleed points. The Master Cylinder, the loop, and the slave cylinder. You need to work your way down, I bled them all atleast 5 times before I even got pedal feel back. Crazy.

ok. if theres air in it to the point where theres no pedal. it will spring down. anyway....

first up. its a pain in the ass.but.

you need two people to do it. open the master clyinder bleed nipple first. push down , close the niple up. pull up. open it push down, close it , pull up..

do this till no more air come out the nipple. should take about 3 strokes.

next do the one on the big loop thing. this one takes a few more. say do that one about 5 times.

then do the slave. say another 5 strokes

each time the pedal is depressed it will need to be pulled up by hand. do it slowly coz if it flings up it will draw air in thru the master.(seals only work in one direction.)

if its being a prick back of the push rod on the master cyl. (12mm nut and wind the rod in a little) to give abit more slack.

i didn't know there where 3 valves.

Where is the "big loop thing" valve?

[mad082]

when did it start doing this? was it when you were bleadding the system?

if not, then it may be a broken pivot bolt, or clutch fork, or the bracket in the cabin.
