Hi List,
 
My TR3A clutch pedal has just begun to intermittently get stuck on the
floor.  The clutch is disengaging and engaging normally, and  when the
pedal gets stuck, I can get my toe under it and lift it..but it makes
for an awkward gearshift with this extra technique.. :-(
 
 
I can't see any fluid leaking from the master or slave..and I have
lubricated the pedal shaft with WD40..The pedal seems to stick down
every 10 shifts or so, and gives the impression of going `over centre'
when it hits the floor if you can understand this description.When the
pedal doesn't stick, it operates normally..
 
The external spring is intact on the slave...Is this problem more likely
to be the internal return spring on the master or the slave cylinder?
Or is it the actual pedal mechanism?
 
Cheers,
 
Chris
