There is no suction from the hydraulic system. The pressure plate springs push the rod back in AS the clutch peddle is returned. Actually if you push in the peddle with the rod disconnected then release the peddle additional fluid will be drawn in from the
reservoir and another push on the peddle and the rod will pop all the way out.

<div>Actually there is a small spring inside the slave cylinder positioned to lightly push the rod outward for which there is no apparent reason. I discovered this when I tagged out the carbon throw out bearing in berry little miles. Apparently my clutch linkage
had very little resistance and this spring was maintaining contact of the bearing. Since there was no reason for the spring, I took it out. Everything has worked fine for more than 25K miles</div>

<div dir="auto">I think the throw out bearing pushes back on fulcrum arm and that pushes piston forward. I need to lengthen the fulcrum point on my smitty 5 speed system so the clutch engages higher up. Some day I will.<br>

If the clutch lever arm is disconnected from the slave cylinder push rod <br>
and the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor, the push rod is pushed to <br>
towards the rear of the car. When the clutch pedal is released should <br>
the suction created in the hydraulic system pull the slave cylinder <br>
piston back in? Or does the system rely on just the pressure plate <br>
springs to move the release bearing/lever arm/rod/piston back?<br>
<br>
