Default Help...no clutch pedal pressure

Just got my 07 S back from getting clutch PP and fly wheel. I think I can press the clutch pedal with my pinky finger. And when grabbing a gear, the pedal will stick to the floor for a second. Any advice, Thanks

Taking it back sounds like a good idea. Something is wrong with the return spring.

Oh, it's going back alright. I just wish I knew it was a simple fix. I'm hoping it just needs to be bled.

The bleed valve may not have been fully closed. Pump the clutch a few times and see if the brake/clutch fluid reservoir drops. Definitely the shop shouldn't have returned it like this.

No, they shouldn't have, I hate to take it back to them but I have already paid for the work. This place is suppose to be good too.

Pump the clutch 5 or 6 times pull it back each time if needed. If the bleed valve is open, fluid will drip below the transmission. An ounce or two. If there is no fluid drip, the clutch was reassembled incorrectly.

That maybe it. Going back tomorrow. I'll let you know if your right. Thanks

So you mentioned nothing about clutch disengagement, so I assume that is working OK. From my minimal experience, no matter what is going on hydraulically, the return spring is supposed to pull the pedal back up (instantly), so I think something funky is going on with the pedal/spring assy. Please post the diagnosis once it is fixed.

Will do,,,I'm now thinking pressure plate.
Let me be clear, I can't actually push the pedal in with my pinky however, it is very, very light with little effort. Definitely not as it was and not right. And the pedal sticks briefly to the floor at above 6500 rpm shifts.
Update; I dropped it off this morning.

OKay Here Goes
Turns out wrong parts. 2.7 parts in my 3.4.... Mistakes happen
They changed it out this morning and I hope to get it tomorrow. For some reason the A/C compressor is not engaging.
The owners are involved and are nicer than I am at this point.

Cars shifts perfectly A/c fine...
