What could be causing the clutch pedal to stick?

Has anybody else had this issue? My clutch pedal gets stuck when it's cold. About halfway up, the pedal sticks for a second and then slingshots up the rest of the way. I wasn't gonna worry about it, but I saw someone on a Jaguar forum saying it's the slave cylinder. Any ideas?

 

It is the clutch accumulator. After I removed mine the problem went away. There is an extensive thread about the accumulator removal.

 

Yup, clutch accumulator and dirty fluid, delete the accumulator can be done with a $3 coupler and some bending of the hard lines (my route) or a $60 delete kit. Makes clutch feel much better and reduces slipping considerably.

 

Thanks guys. I found the thread. I'll have to add it to my list of projects.

 

I'm pretty sure you can do the dremel mod on the accumulator for basically $0. I've got it planned when it's warmer than 15F.

 

I know where you're coming from. I've had my car parked for a week because I refuse to change the headlight bulb in this weather.

 

Ditto for me when it comes to installing my seat covers & brake controller (no garage, heated or not).

 

You could take the seats out and install the seat covers in the warm house.

 

That's my plan, BUT it's too damn cold (+3.7°F) to do that AND the brake controller is going under the seat and will require way too much time R&Ring other stuff to put the control knob where I want it. It'll keep. I'll stay inside where it's warm.

 

The 2nd Gens had a two or three different line routings. On the 3rd Gen, there is not enough line slack to reform them and use a coupler.

 

OOF.

 

The dremel mod is free and easy.

 

I assume this just involves cutting the accumulator open to where the spring falls out? But how does it seal after?

 

Not at all. See the pics in the 1st post of the thread.

 

Kind Sir could you spare a link for the lazy? Not seeing it in this thread.
