2012 Fusion Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 My clutch pedal intermittently stays on the floor after being pressed. I can lift the pedal and continue driving. I few times the clutch did not disengage when fully pressed. No external fluid leaks and fluid is at proper level. There seems to be an internal leak in master cylinder and/or slave cylinder. My question is on the clutch pedal assembly. (Clutch pedal assembly is now removed). When you start to press the clutch pedal, there is spring force holding it in the up position. You move the pedal less than 1" and it passes a "break-over point" with the spring and the spring holds the pedal in the down position with significant force. Has anyone run into this? Does not seem like it should be normal operation for the pedal to be held down with spring force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) I would change both the clutch master and slave cylinders. Once they start to fail it is always downhill. My guess on the clutch spring is that they are trying to make the pedal as light feelings as possible, the force of the pressure plate on the clutch fork is enough to defeat that spring. What I believe is happening to you is that you lose pressure in the clutch line and that makes the spring work against you.
