HELP! I am not really a mechanic but I just replaced my clutch and now the clutch pedal won"t come back up when depressed. I have a 96 f150 2wd with hydralic clutch. It is a Mazda M5OD with a consentric slave cylinder system. I only replaced the clutch and pressure plate and housing. I also didn't know how to disconnect the hydraulic line or connecting rod. I don't think there is any air in the lines be but I don't know what to do. Tell me how to fix this or should I take it somewhere??? Thanks.

Good old Bill

First thing that comes to mind is the T/O brg. Did you reinstall it? Unfortunately, the trans has to be pulled back to verify that it is in place. The hydraulic cyl. pushes on the release lever, as the release lever pivots on its anchor pin it pushes on the release bearing (T/O Brg.) The springs of the pressure plate is what forces the oil back into the slave cyl. Hope this helps. Good luck.
