A Sticky Situation (clutch)

a_stupid_box · Oct 18th, 2006, 02:11 AM

Dunno if this is common on '91 NX2K's, but I have to push the clutch pedal down to the floor -- ALL the way down, HARD -- whenever I want to start the car. Considering the massive amount of play involved I always find it funny when someone else says they can't start my car.

Anyway, the problem is that it recently began to "stick" when I start the car. My workaround is to keep it out of gear and pop the pedal back out with my foot before actually driving, but this is actually VERY annoying to do a dozen or so times per day (pizza delivery).

Is there a way to fix this on the cheap/free? If so, can anyone post step-by-step instructions? I'm totally stock except for interior electronics and know very little about the mechanical aspects of cars.

I had the same problem! my ratchette eventually snaped!
i just bought a new one. your going to have to find out if its aftermarket pedals sticking to your carpet... if so just drimel them down.... if not the sticking will persist and you will need a new pedal assembly i found mine on ebay for $24.
