Hello everyone,
my problem is that clutch pedal sometimes stays stuck in pressed postition. I can release it by my foot. Maybe I press pedal to hard or it is something else. It started to happens 10 days ago. I can change gears normally during drive, this happens only when the car is stopped and I want to shift in 1st gear or in the reverse. Please help me. I don't want that some mechanic replace me all the parts if it is not necessary.

Hi, I've had an accessory mat get caught before, :eek:

check by crawling into the footwell and push / depress the clutch pedal by hand.

see it what point it seem to go tight/ stiff.., it MAY be the actual slave cylinder on the top of the gearbox..,

but try clearing obstructions ( carpet / cable, etc

AND lubricating the pedal mechanism with oil / WD40 / etc,

It would be too easy that the mat is problem. :)
I think that problem is slave cylinder, some squeaking noise comes from under the hood. WD40 does not help. Tomorrow I'll replace it and I will let you know.
Thanks
 
There have been a few people experience similar on the Panda. I think mine was the master cylinder, but I replaced both it and the slave and all is very smooth now. It seems to be what happens when plastic cylinders wear. Check if the cylinders are plastic on yours.
