Sticky Clutch Pedal

Hi all, I've searched through all the threads with "clutch problem" in the title but to no avail - and there are a LOT of them! The problem I am having is that my clutch pedal has recently become a bit sticky. It doesn't happen all the time but is becoming more frequent. Now, to describe this precisely, when I depress the clutch, it feels for all the world like it's a cable-operated one and that some of the cable has become frayed and is about to snap. It's *that* kind of stickiness. In fact I was momentarily convinced it *was* a cable-operated clutch that had become frayed; it felt *so* much like that. But I see in my manual they're all fluid/hydraulic types. So what can the cause of this issue be? Thanks!

Check the condition of the clutch pedal return spring, which is located on the pivot in the cylinder housing box.

And try oiling the little bushes in the pedal housing that the pedal pivots on.

+1 Remove the six screws on the plate in front of the slave cylinder and you'll be able to spray oil on the gubbins more easily

Thank you, gentlemen. That should be enough to be getting on with for now!

when mine did this slave cylinder was dying,cheap and easy to replace though
