GTA - floppy clutch pedal

Postby pgoldsmith » Fri Jul 08, 2022 11:11 am

Noticed my clutch pedal appears to have quite a bit of play. I.e. when its resting you can move it forward and back quite a bit.

Clutch operates fine, just a bit concerned something may have worked loose - though the hinge seems fine.

Is it normal to have such amount of play??

Yes ...... if the return spring inside the clutch master cylinder has broken.
