clutch problems possibly slave/master

[1996scoobydoo]

hey guys ive got a 1996 impreza sti hatch and the clutch is not fully popping back out after letting my foot off the clutch . I have bled the clutch and it didnt change it. I have been told it could be the slave or master . Was just wondering if anyone has encountered same problem and if so where did you get parts from. local mechanic said slave could be 200 master could be 400 inc labour which seems very pricey for what seems a relatively easy job

cheers

Is the clutch/gearbox working as normal? Other than pedal return? How\'s the spring at the top of your clutch pedal arm?

its the spring on the clutch fork

assuming nothing really unusual is going on with pedals etc

yeah works perfectly fine changing gears etc . never pops out of gear etc have had to pump clutch once when starting cos wouldnt go into gear which was a bit wierd but have had it bled since then.

i\'m having the same problem, 96 GTB legacy. peddle return is a bit dull. if i rest my foot on the clutch and take up the inch or so of free play, it just sits there.

i\'ve just dismantled/cleaned both cylinders and re-bled etc. the master cylinder piston rubber seal was a bit worn so i\'m assuming its that, although bleeding the system is a bit tricky and i could have naffed it up.

my clutch fork spring is functional but ill have another look at it

there is a 2nd bleed point behind the drivers strut tower if you have the shock-absorbing lines on your car

yeah i had the same on my 93 legacy wagon after replacing the slave cylinder i bleed it several times but the pedal didn\'t pop right back out fully in the beginning, its abit looser now 3ookm lately and does come out fully now so i just put it down to the rubber bedding in.
