When I depress the clutch, the pedal stays on the floor. When I use my hand and pull it up, it stays up. Please help.

Hi aoswald2,

The clutch hydraulic system is bad. When this occurs, the pedal would stay on floor because the pedal spring which is supposed to assist while depressing the clutch would force the pedal down and there is no hydraulic pressure to return the pedal.

Check the clutch master cylinder reservoir fluid level.
