gort Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hi Guys. The clutch pedal is not returning to the top of it's travel, and is sticking about half way down, I have to manually move it by getting my foot underneath the pedal and pull it up, anybody know what the problem is?.

buster Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) could be clutch master cylinder,slave cylinder or even clutch. check your fluid first. Edited April 19, 2014 by buster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 As above, master or slave. Change both, labour is the expensive bit not the parts themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gort Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) thanks for the info it's a brand new clutch and fly wheel, the pedal seems to be binding on something Edited April 19, 2014 by gort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The slave cylinder is a very common weak point on the 350Z it does sound like you have issues with the hydraulic system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Fluid overfill maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gort Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 forgot to mention I adjusted the pedal height, using this guide.. http://www.350z-uk.c...t-clutch-pedal/ maybe be I should wind it back and see if that does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gort Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) just found this, could be the clevis pin, and the ASCD switch Edited April 19, 2014 by gort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLJ87 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Does this problem get worse if not fixed? Mine does the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw99 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Mine does the same after having a new clutch, was going to do the adjustments. However maybe that's no good??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Does this problem get worse if not fixed? Mine does the same thing! It will never get better, and will at some point leave you stranded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff E Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I am having this problem. Everything fine when I set off but after half hour or so, when presumably heated up, the pedal does not come back up. First indication is a loud thump as the pedal has stuck when I have taken my foot off and then suddenly unsticks. Then worsens and have to lift it up with my foot. At no time to date have I had a problem with the clutch not engaging/slipping. I am therefore hoping that the posted clevis pin sticking is the cause.

philw99 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I've got the same after a clutch change that I'm looking at tomorrow. Going to test the adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z_Lover Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 In most cases the problems occurs if the clutch isnt correct bleeded. do the bleeding of the clutch as it is described in the manual,..........i had the same problem last year but after a correct bleeding of the system the problem had gone.If u did the bleeding correct,.........maybe the slave clutch cylindre is bad,.....change this item Greets Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 After clutch and flywheel change, had the same problem. Slave cylinder, braided hose and new fluid, clutch feels better than ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw99 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 After clutch and flywheel change, had the same problem. Slave cylinder, braided hose and new fluid, clutch feels better than ever Did you order a standard slave cylinder or can you buy an uprated one? I'm going to do the same as currently my clutch is awful especially went its heats up. Seems ok cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 As far as I know there is no uprated one for the DE only the HR that runs a concentric type. The kit we sell for the DE includes a new Nissan slave cylinder, Hosetechnik stainless clutch line and 500ml of Mogul RBF600 for £119.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was just an oem nissan one but a braided hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
