    Hello, have a 1999 Pete extended hood that the clutch does not return all the way back anymore. It goes down to the floor like normal, but have to use my left foot to bring it back up so I can use the cruise and jake. Was thinking clutch return spring broke, anyone know where it is located? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Does it come up normal at all like to a certain point? Do you feel it slipping at all if so it could be the fingers on the pressure plate. If it is just the inch or so it's probably the spring on the pedal

    Mph2, it does return to a certain point and does not slip. Last few inches just no return at all.

    The return spring is under the cab, right under the drivers side floor board, hooked into the clutch linkage.

    There are three greasing points on that linkage system..... Often overlooked.

    What beltrans said. It takes a long time but if these zerks are not greased that is the outcome.
