Why did my clutch loose pressure?
There could be a leak on the slave cylinder causing the slave cylinder not to operate. Also, check the pin to the clutch pedal and make sure that it is hooked up to the clutch master cylinder. If there is no leak, then there may be air in the clutch hydraulic system.
Why does the clutch pedal not come back up?
Re: Clutch Pedal Stays Down Not Returning – Stuck ! Sorry to say this but son in laws Mondeo had a similar problem where when he pressed the clutch pedal it would stay down and not return. It didn’t happen every time but was getting worse. It didn’t lose brake/clutch fluid in the reservoir.
How do you tighten a loose clutch pedal?
Getting to the clutch is a bit tricky, but once you do you should be able to tighten it without much difficulty. Park your car on level ground and turn off the engine. Put on a headband flashlight and turn it on. Lay on your back on top of the wheeled dolly. Roll under the car and locate the clutch pedal assembly, which is along the firewall.
How often do you press the clutch pedal?
There are two basic ways a clutch fails – it either fails to disengage, or fails to engage fully. In normal, modern stop-and-go driving, you probably press the clutch pedal in every few seconds. And on that one time when you press it and the car still creeps forward, you know you have a problem.
What causes a clutch to not disengage?
Beside not engaging, or not disengaging, there can be other issues as well, such as noisy operation, or chattering on engagement. On older mechanical linkages, lack of periodic lubrication can lead to high effort or binding in pivots or cables, or a pedal that does not return smoothly.
Why does the clutch pedal go to the floor and stay?
It won’t come out of gear so I just brake until the engine stalled. Lifted the clutch pedal up, worked fine for a few more miles, then it ave out again. Drove home, and now it’s on the floor for good. I’m very good about maintaining the car and had the clutch assembly, master and slave cylinder replaced last year.

What causes a petal to fall out of the clutch?
Check linkage. sometime the rod that pushes the t/o rod fork will fall out of the rod. It’s not attached, held in place only by spring pressure. Easy fix if that’s the case, caused by out of adjustment. Good luck , hope that’s all it is. Worst case all pressure plate componets destroyed and nothing to give petal something to push
