The pedal and shafts are fine. They were recently refurbished.

Hi Riaan,=20
Are you sure the problem is inside the bellhousing ? I would have =
thought the spring would return the clutch pedal itself, unless it's =
somehow jammed up. =20
I had the clutch to go to the floor a few months ago, it goes without =
saying that I was a) at traffic lights in the centre of a town and b) =
towing a heavy trailer.=20
However, it was the clutch lever that had worn through after 48 years, =
it had gone at the part where it holds the adjustable operating arm to =
the bellhousing, i.e. just under the cross-shaft.=20
Managed to start the car in gear in low range and move to the side of =
the road, where a mole-grip was applied to the lever which permitted a =
few gearchanges so got me home ! Of course once you're moving it's not =
too hard to change gear without the clutch, it's when you have to stop =
that you have problems !
Regards to all,
Anthony
I depressed the clutch=20
when suddenly the clutch lever went down and did not come up again.=20

resistance, nor=20
