How does the clutch pedal come up off the floor?
As you allow the clutch pedal to come up off of the floorboard, the pressure plate diaphragm spring is responsible to push the bearing back, bearing pushes the fork back, fork pushes the slave cylinder piston, slave cyl moves fluid thru hose, fluid pushes master cyl back, M/C pushes pedal back up. That’s the sequence.
What to do if your clutch pedal is leaking?
A leaking slave wouldn’t be good. You can pull it right out without disconnecting the fluid line and check it, or you might be able to see fluid leaking out the bottom of your bell housing. If you bled it and that didn’t happen and you dont have a leak somewhere then I’m afraid youre in for a new clutch.
Is there free play on the clutch pedal?
“JETaah” mentioned “free play” on the clutch lever in his earlier post, and when I checked the lever with my finger there was no free play in the direction the slave would push it. There IS however “free play” to the front, and rear direction of the motor… and up and down. ??
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

Seals break down and begin leaking, leading to low fluid levels in the system. A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to inspect the clutch pedal, the cable or hydraulic system to verify operation and determine the actual cause of the problem.

What happens if you Bleed your clutch pedal?
If you’ve bled it , did you make sure that the fluid level in the resivoir did not go below the little tap on the side. That would be the tap that the slave cylinder line attaches to. You can bleed it all day long and as long as you keep allowing the level to fall below that tap it will keep sucking air.
