NY Clutch pedal

I have 86 rx7
Every once in a while the clutch pedal sticks down near the floor board
A pain when your trying to shift and you have to fish for it
Is there something to lub or a spring to change
Thanks for any help

Check if your clutch fluid is low, then bleed it. If it still sticks then the master or slave is probably done and needs to be replaced. Better to replace both at the same time.

happened to me. $30 fix. Check to see if there's fluids around the slave if there is your slave is bad. Check around your clutch pedal any fluid? But first of all check to see if you have fluid to begin with.

Judging from this- and previous- questions, you don't.

Either read the manual or hire a mechanic.

Actually, I think that upon reflection you'll find I actually provided a lot more than "nothing".
Someone who can't find the clutch master cylinder and doesn't know what fluid to use in it needs more than "a little direction".

Just to prove I'm not a total dick, here's the online factory service manual.
