Default Clutch pedal only returns back 90% of the way?

My clutch pedal only returns back 90% of the way after driving the car hard. There's an inch or so of dead play. Anyone else ever had this issue?

Thanks

What master do you have? I have never had that problem but the hydraulic system is very simple so its probably either the master, slave or throwout bearing.

Im waiting to hear what others have to say. My clutch had some dead play, like 3 inches, before it finally went to the floor. Haven't fixed it yet, but I suspect its the master for my car.

Agreed, its the clutch Return Spring but FYI if you install a Tick unit, it states that you need to remove it. I have absolutely no play with that unit in my car.
