Re: ABS / clutch problem?

[Dave Rizzolo <dv8studio@ids.net>]

Well I have a problem with my clutch pedal also. The pedal does not always
fully return, stopping 3/4 of the way back up. It is obvious when this
happens in that you can feel it has not fully returned and when it does, it
does so with a loud thud. I have had my dealer look at it once already,
solution: lube that baby up! But it is again sticking.

I don't notice any resistance or clicking when depressing the clutch, only
with its return.
