thank you for that reply Beast. I was ready to pull the pedal tomorrow and take it to the dealer, because 'the book' says that 4 cyl. has the return spring only and 6 cyl has both and the dealer agreed. I'll get it back together tomorrow and hope mine is like yours.

Well apparently there is a return spring and an assist spring. (I took a break from the frustration for the holidays)I pulled out master cylinder, and now when I push the pedal (with my finger even) it kinda slams to the floor and stays. So my 'assist' spring seems to be doing its job but I can't locate the return spring nor does it seem do be doing its job. I see in the diagram where it goes but when I look at my pedal I can't see any evidence of one ever being there. Is it enclosed in the bushing or wrapped around it like everything I find suggests? I am sooo confused:-)

1st post. Not sure what the public poll and vote is all about. Started loosing clutch fluid and the ability to shift gears over a few day period. It was slight at first. I was just noticing that shifting didn't feel quite right. Then my last trip home I had to almost jam it into gear for the last mile.The only place I could find any fluid leaking was around the operating (slave) cylinders so I replaced it. I bled all of the air out after replacement but my pedal still goes to floor with little resistance and stays there. Thinking master cylinder next but I would appreciate any input since I currently don't have a garage and am also laid off work. Working on Pathy in the dirt and not a lot of money to spend:-( Thank you in advance and I love this website!!
