[QUOTE="ArkLightning, post: 16021012, member: 162117"] The pressure plate is responsible for pushing back against the hydraulic TO bearing which pushes fluid back to the clutch pedal master cylinder and in turn pushes the pedal back up. Sounds like a long chain but in practice it usually happens lightning quick since hydraulic fluid is incompressionable and transfers energy immediately and equally to all points in the system. I would try flushing the system and installing new hydraulic fluid as a start. Possibly there's some thrash in the system that is restricting fluid return to the master cylinder. Or the master cylinder piston is dragging on return. Diaphragm clutches used to have a bad reputation for going over-center from too much dis-engagement on shifts, causing them to stick to the floor and pop back up similar to what you describe. But they pretty much fixed all of that with bent-finger pressure plates and I haven't hear of anything like that affecting dual-disc clutches such as our GT350s use. I would keep after the dealer to address it. [/QUOTE]
