Spa day!

My clutch was sticking about halfway to the floor, but I could pop it back in place with the top of my foot. Turns out, it was a failing slave cylinder. So I replaced the slave & master, and it's back good as new.

My 70 does this and I assumed it was the springs on the pedal were weak

I actually changed the springs on the pedal assist thing, but that didn't help. So I kept digging.

I bet those springs are a bitch to change. Ordering now. Any tips?

I just used a wire coat hanger. Use the loop on the end of the coat hanger to grab the end of the spring and pull down. Popped right off. However, that was after I tried about 5 other ways to get them off with no success.... I haven't changed out the plastic piece yet, so no tips on that.

I was also going to change the spring from the clutch pedal to the firewall, but it's NLA (PN# 90905-07006). So if someone knows of an alternative please let me know.

Thanks,
Darren

Hello,

The two tension springs elongate over time. If memory serves, in old age they are up to 5 mm or 3/16 in. longer than new springs.

The other spring is referred to as "tension spring" in the parts catalog. Part number is 90905-07006, and it was available not so long ago when I replaced mine.

A good hook is enough to pull the two tension springs.

The long spring is held in place with two small C-clips. They tend to fly away, and it is good to be careful. It elongates around 3 mm or 1/8 in. over time.

Hope this helps.

Also, something you should change is the clutch hose. My experience with them is always seeing them dried as hell.

Also, when it comes to replacing the clutch kit, consider the Terrain Tamer HD clutch kit. This thing with 1fz is worth it. It's not stiff or soggy, and you can feel the engine output immediately.
I tried it on 1FZ and 3F
I believe you can find it through TT north America @orangefj45
