Ok heres my problem, i just took my car to the dealership to have the clutch replaced along with the master cylinder 2 days ago, now it seems that when i depress the clutch pedal then when i go to release it and complete my shift, the pedal doesn't smoothly come up...its like theres a slight delay then it fully comes up....dont get me wrong the clutch is soft and i love the weigh it feels, but this is just bugging me because it should just come up right when your releasing your foot, but instead its slow or something. Any suggestions thanks
 
Was the slave cylinder replaced?
There might be air in the system, so I would recommend a proper bleeding of the clutch hydraulic system.
 
it needs to be bled buddy. You can do it with a friend very easily. One inside the car, pump the clutch pedal 5 times, hold it all the way down to the ground the 5th time and the other opens the bleeder, proceed to do that until the clutch feels good again. Be sure to watch the resevoir to make sure it doesn't empty out or else you gotta do it again.
 
ya thanks again guys...sure enough the hydraulic system wasn't bled..when i took it back to the shop the master tech who was working on my car said he forgot to bleed the system, now it feels like a new clutch!:thumb:
