Tech QuestionRobert felix, Brampton, MP 1970 DODGE DUSTER 340 Hi Rick, I'm having trouble with the clutch pedal not returning properly.All the linkage has been rebuilt at a reputable local shop,the engine & tranny have just been rebuilt.The pedal goes down o.k. but i have to "toe it" back up to the released position. Is it possible that I may have a "dead" spring? Robert- This is normal if there's more than one inch of free play at the pedal. It's not a simple return spring, it's an "over center" spring: it pulls the pedal up when near the top, but it pulls the pedal down beyond that point - to reduce effort. Best guess: The free play simply needs to be adjusted. Dodge Duster, Huh? Sister of the Plymouth Demon, I guess! And Mopar Performance rates their own state now, huh? Cool! Rick
