In my rebuild I replaced the pressure plate throw out bearing clutch disk etc, new springs and all the linkage is fine. Works properly, however when I push the clutch pedal in it seems to engage and depress at the right level, but when it comes back up from the floor it doesn't return fully. I can pull it back up by hand what seems to be about 2.5 inches of travel till it hits its bump stop. Any Ideas?
Thanks

How does the pedal behave if you disconnect the clutch linkage? Try to isolate if the bind is in the pedal or linkage.

The brake and clutch pedals hang from a long bolt that goes through a bracket that's more or less behind the instrument cluster, try lubing that point. If I remember correctly there are bushings in the top of the pedal where the bolt passes through.
