My clutch pedal just started acting up. It doesn't return all the way after depessing it. It returns enough that the clutch engages. If I pull it up with my foot it returns all the way.
Is there a spring or maybe bushings that could go bad?

Check you clucth slave cylinder. Looks like it's time to replace it.

Could be the clutch master cylinder itself, stick you're head down to where the clutch pedal is, look for any signs of a leak or wet rubber boot on the clutch pedal rod.

And if neither of those cylinders leak,check the hose from the master to the slave,a friend of mine had a leak in it. We discovered it after changing the slave cylider...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into it this weekend. I was hopeing it would be something simple like a spring.

my car did the same thing. it ended up being a master cylinder. but it wasnt leaking. the seals went bad inside.

Assuming its the hydraulics , do yourself a favor and replace all three parts at once -- master, slave, line between them. New parts tend to blow out old parts -- they like to get old together. I replaced the master. Then the slave. Then the line in between. Bleeding is a real pain, so the fewer times you have to do it, the better.

Thanks All.
I'll just go ahead and replace both cylinders and the connecting line after I confirm it's the hydraulics.
