This weekend as part of a rebuild I've refurbished the clutch master & slave cylinders on my S3 LWT. Since the engine is not in the vehicle, there is nothing in front of the clutch fork & associated bearing.
I have bled the system and, as expected, when I depress the clutch pedal, the fork moves forward i.e. away from the gearbox.
When I release the clutch pedal, the fork does not move back (i.e. towards the gearbox) unless I push it.
Very basic question (sorry!): is the return force on the fork provided entirely by the clutch cover pressure plate or should it return "on its own" when the clutch pedal is goes back up??
Thanks!
