clutch pedal only springs up half way?

[rickwipf@gmail.com]

My clutch pedal doesn't come back up all the way... only more like half way. When I assist it back up with my foot then it springs back up to the top. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

It can be caused by air in the system. The 986 is hydraulically activated and shares fluid with the brakes. I'd start by bleeding the clutch.

The bleed screw is on the driver's side toward the top on the gear box. Easier with two people, but I did it recently by myself by using a board to hold the clutch depressed at the proper time. Loren has a DIY on bleeding the brakes on a 996 which includes a section on how to bleed the clutch. Those instructions are the same for a 986. You do not have to bleed the brakes....you can just pick up with the clutch bleeding. Here's Loren's DIY.
