Took out the V to get groceries today, then found this spring right where my left foot rests. Clutch still feels okay. Anybody recognize it before I get on my head to take a look-see? It's got grease all over it, too.

Looks like the pedal return spring broke. Hydraulic pressure @ the master is keeping your pedal up, so you should only notice a slight reduction in pedal pressure. I think it's happened to a few others on here... I need to check mine too. |

'k I just looked. There's two clutch pedal return springs, one on each side. Looks like you've lost one. I'd take it to the dealer as soon as you can. |

Hey, you know what? I just looked at the darn thing, and it IS broke! I'll be doggone!!
I'm goin' to the dealer. Dang ... just when we're getting crappy weather (snowstorm), too. Will have to wait a few days till the roads clear up and get dry again. |

At least that's why I'm yelling at myself. Took mine out for a 6 mile errand. Now it is dirty with road slop and too cold to wash it without the water freezing on it.

You might want to look around and see if there's a loose grenade anywhere...

Having experienced the "clutch not returning at high RPM" problem once, I looked at the return spring under the dash. I would agree with the others, that is definitely one-half of a broken return spring. |

Looks like your Knuestsen valve dropped a spring. Check your muffler bearing while you're at it, since they usually fail within days of each other.

While you're at it, shoot us a part number for the penny. |
