My Clutch pedle will stick down after the car heats up and the clutch will not fully open but when I pull the pedle back up it will just pop right back up and usally do it again. I have taken it in to the shop and they can't find anything wrong with it, but when they drove it, it did the same thing. Has anyone had this problem? If so what waz causing it.

How old is the clutch?

I had this problem with my MR2 and all it was was just that the damn thing was old ... I guess the springs in the plate were just plain wearing out.

I would check the clutch master and slave cylinder. Rebuild kits for them are cheap or you can replace them with new or used ones for pretty cheap too.

it shifts the same it alwayz has. and no parts have been added.

well, have the hydraulics checked just to be sure, but in my experiences so far, hydraulic problems usually affected shifting.

give us some background info ... you said no parts have been added ... are you the original owner. do you just mean YOU haven't added any parts to it? car's year? i'm still thinking it's old age, unless you tell me something to think otherwise.

i got it new in 93 right after Car and Driver got it back to the dealer. Im sure it is the master cylinder.

I would recommend checking the following:

* clutch line - make sure it's not leaking or losing pressure
* slave cylinder - as mentioned there are rebuild kits around
* throw-out bearing

Those are listed in order of easist to more trouble-som to check.
