Clutch pedal wont come all the way back up.

TengoTaco · 10-13-2008, 11:53 AM

I have a 2004 Tacoma. I realized yesterday my clutch pedal will not come all the way back up on its own. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt. When it doesnt it is about 1/4 of an inch from coming all the way back.

My truck shifts great.

Could this be a weakened spring or a symptom my clutch is going bad?

The video shows me pressing in the clutch releasing, pausing then pulling it back out.

Hey Tyler!

You already have the clutch pedal bushing link...

But yeah, I'd take the pedal assembly out and see what you can find. Atleast that'll help you troubleshoot. If the clutch pedal bushing is completely gone, I can see it causing a problem 'hanging up' and/or the spring can't fully pivot.

Take some picts and let us know what you see....

Good Luck!

Check your clutch master cylinder. It could be leaking.
