Sticky clutch pedal

[1973dusterkid]

Ok so on my 73 duster 360 4 speed.

McLeod 10.5 diaphragm clutch

the clutch pedal gets sticky when you press it only after you drive if and get it good and hot.

Over-center spring on the pedal removed?

Yes

Is it getting stuck on the floor or is it binding part way up? Diaphragm pressure plates don't like too much travel, they get to certain point and the spring doesn't want to push back anymore. If it's binding part way up then start checking the linkage ends for excessive wear and the Z bar for worn bushings.

It is sticky when pressing to the floor but only when you have been drive for awhile.

Anyone have a options of why its happening.

Why not phone the McLeod tech line?
They deal with this all of the time, better than asking us hacks who just guess.
My guess is that the clutch is out of adjustment, FWIW.

SO, Dusterkid, Did you ever figure it out?

leaking from the front of the trans and messing up clutch. Changed clutch and front paper gasket.
