Clutch Pedal

[BigAnt]

My clutch pedal feels kind of mushy. It doesn't pop right back up. What could be the problem?

First thing i would check would be your fluid level under the hood....

then go from there.....

i had that problem and it turned out to be my clutch master cylinder so you might want to do what bpaccord said first then check those two next. i would guess the master is more likely the problem though.

Squishy, low pedals are usually a sign of air in the system. It's possible you have a leak and now the reservoir is sucking air into the system.

where is the reservoir located? where would be a like place for it to leak? I raised the car yesterday and i didn't see any leaks from the bottom.

The reservoir is right next to your brake fluid reservoir.

Follow the line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder on the top front of the transmission. Leaking lines don't usually drip, they turn dark and wet looking.
