Angry Clutch issue?!?!?!?!?!

My car, i finally got the beast running, im drving along and my clutch pedal doesn't come back up unless i pull it back of with my foot. It used to do it a lil bit then it would be fine for the rest of the day... now it does it all the time, it feels as if the clutch isn't disengaging, it grinds going into rev, and sometimes its a b!tch putting it into 1st... Tell me what u guys think, im guessing the clutch cylinder but maybe the clutch... **** i need help

Did it occur to you to check your fluid level?

most likely its yor slave cylinder failing. it'll spit fluid out and lose all pressure. replace it and the rubber line and your problem will be solved.

check the operation of the salve cylinder and see if its pushing the fork. if its not, try bleeding it. if that doesnt help, you may have a collapsed rubber line. in some instances the clutch master will cause problems. usually when it does, its a sticking pedal. the pedal will either be tight or loose and easy to pick up from the floor.

Replace both the master and slave, I would add the ss clutch line too. If you have no visible leaks and the fluid level isn't going down, the seals are shot, probably the master. If it's leaking and you can't find it, look under the carpet, behind the pedals.

Usually when one goes and is replaced, the other soon follows.
