I've had that happen before, but only when I've left a car standing for a long time without use - the clutch plunger just got stuck in the wok. Did you grease up the plunger, arm, pushrod etc...? On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

not really, maybe a little grease to lubricate the pin, but if theres a far bit it sounds as though the seal might be leaking fluid?

Right, I had mine do this, and I think I know what it is now.

Have a look at the bracket which the slave cylinder is attached to - I bet the third bolt (the one that goes into the side of the wok, rather than the top of the bell housing) has either come loose, or fallen out and the bracket has bent. This means your slave cylinder is able to push the pushrod further, it comes out at an angle and gets stuck. Take the slave cylinder off, and fix that bracket down properly and all will be hunky dory. Do you mean this where the arrows pointing to ? 
Think it needs some washers underneath to rise it up abit, as what you said is true, the pushrod is at an angle and gets stuck 
Cheers. Shit Happen's |

Yeah, if the pushrod is coming out at an angle, whack a couple of washers under there until its straight. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:
