[Mgs] Clutch pedal sticking down

[Paul Hunt]

I can't see it being anything in the bellhousing or the hydraulic hose.  The 
master cylinder and the pedal have return springs, and normally these would 
be enough to pull the pedal back even if there is no return hydraulic 
pressure.  The master seals are designed to pull fluid past them on the 
return stroke when there is no return pressure for any reason.  I had a 
release bearing break some years ago, so no return pressure, the pedal 
worked normally (albeit very light) and just a couple of pumps were enough 
to push the slave piston out of the end of the cylinder.

I'd be looking at the pedal pivot, linkage, and master push-rod and piston.
