Clutch acting wierd

[MazdaSpeed732]

Idk if anyone else has had this happen but today i went to start up the speed, and when i let go of the clutch, i felt it not come back as fast as it usually does. so i start playing with the clutch in the driveway after warming up, reversing and driving back and forth, realized that the clutch was still acting odd, and it jus didnt want to come back up. left the car in driveway and ill check it out in the AM. any ideas? was a cold night but nothing crazy maybe mid 30's

Sounds like a bad clutch slave cylinder. They usually go temp sensitive when they go. In other words they will act one way when cold and another when hot.

It won't fix itself; take it to the dealer.

yeah my slave cylinder failed twice for me now, car is at 24k, once at around 17 and then a few days ago.

The guys at the dealer can't figure out why it would happen. You should be good taking it in under warranty, just make sure if you do have any mods the dealer is good with them. I'm sure they would find some reason to blame your intake on your driving style and such.

Usually rebuilding it does the trick.

These things are as bad as some solenoid valves I've worked with in the past. The seals go bad with little explanation, and the best way to fix it is to rebuild it or replace it...over and over and over and over again. I consider it normal maintenance for older cars, however it should easily be covered under warranty I would think.
