Pedal hanging up recenlty I have 1 98 camaro Z28. My pedal hangs up about half way only and doesn't come all the way up when I'm parking the vehicle or driving in a parking lot. But the funny thing is the pedal pops back up by itself to it orginal position. though I have upgraded the Hydralics. Got the Mccloud adjustable master and upgraded to the 02 Slave cyclinder. Drill mod to the line as well. Got Spec 3 clutch with flywheel and everything. All this was done last year and I have put on 10,000 to 12,000 miles on these new components. I never had any problem with it until recently. My fluid was dirty and I flushed the fluid out and put some fresh new fluid and bled the system. You guys thing my spring at the pedal weak or the bushings on the clutch pedal worn out cause it was squeaking bad for a while when I drove the car.
Any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

Is it more inconsistant really then?
I have had McLeod masters do that B-4. I usually ended up rebuilding them to cure it. Have you tried to adjust the master as well?

I haven't tried adjusting it yet but I'm going to replace the return spring and clutch pedal bushings since I already bought the parts for it and the pedal squeaks a bit. Bought After I replace these parts and I still have a issue I will either rebuilt my Mccloud Master or replace.
Drove the car yesterday it hanged up on me three times. But the pedal hangs up half way only. Not on the floor.

You think I have to keep bleeding it? I will try again. Or do you think I have a bad Mccloud master?

I had the same problem. Buy a vacuum bleeder, it's the best thing you can ever do for these sketchy hydros. If I didn't buy one I would have already done sold my car in frustration. Now I have the Mcleod master, drill mod, and upgraded slave. The Mcleod master is a PITA to bleed even WITH the power bleeder. So help yourself out and buy one immediately.

I will try to rebleed one more time with a vacuum bleeder this time. Why do you think I would have to rebleed it again or have to bleed it in the first place? Its a closed sealed system. Right? Why rebleed the second time again If I already bled it? Can you please explain what goes wrong or what happens to rebleed again. All the hydralics were upgraded about a year ago, drill mod, and clutch done on it. All this was done a year ago. Now the pedal hangs up half way only! What going on?
