W58 clutch woes
So the other day, after doing 1 burn out(it had been forever) and driving pretty aggressively basically throughout the day, something weird happened.
I was at a light and it turned green, I take off and I noticed that when engaging the clutch, it returned pretty slow, and didnt keep contact with my foot as it usually does, or should. It did this for 1st and 2nd as well as 3rd gear. Any ideas?
Thanks. If you need a better description let me know. to give you an image of what happened...imagine popping the clutch, and it returned really slowly, not quick as if spring loaded. Thanks again.

I know this sounds stupid, but check your floor mat, it happened to me a few times where my mat got kicked forward towards the clutch pedal preventing it from returning smoothly

What does clutch material look like? Thanks!

I have something similar and I think the solution is bleed the clutch.
If I let the car sit for a while sometimes the pedal doesn't return all the way and the point of engagement is alot closer to the floor than usual. driving 10 min usually fixes the problem.
It started happening to me right after I had the engine out. Im guessing I need to bleed it again.

P.S. just took the car for a cruise, the pedal didnt do it. It acted fine. We'll see how she acts tomorrow after my 20 minute commute to school. I'll also check the lines and fluid if anyone can show me where in the bay this is found. Thanks.
