Re: Sticky Clutch Pedal??

New thought!
Check the over-centre spring under the dash. It's up close to the top of the clutch pedal.
It might have come loose or popped off the pin.
Mine is sticking intermittently at stops, usually early in the drive and never between gears. Last time I checked under the dash, everything was OK. I think if the spring came off it would do it all the time.

I was going to put a 5-spd in it when I did the rebuild but I decided I don't want to cut a hole in the floor. Besides that the shifter would go where my right leg sits. The 3-on-the-tree is just not a lot of fun to drive and I'm not crazy about the gearing. Seems to tall for around town and too low for highway speeds (3.07 rear). Maybe I'll just put in an automatic and be done with it. Of course that would add a bunch more stuff I don't want to the engine bay...(kickdown linkage and cooler lines).

I appreciate the troubleshooting help.
