Default Is my clutch fork working correctly? Video.

Is my clutch fork working correctly? See my video. I've never serviced the pull type. I'm planning on replacing the clutch master and slave.

Is that an SC300? I have a manual and that's nothing like mine. (a 95)

It looks to be very slow on the return. My first suspicion would be a worn out and sticking external slave cylinder. Also the fork pivot point (inside the bellhousing) may need some fresh grease. But the slave cylinder is my first suspicion. After that I'd check the health of the clutch master cylinder. Also, it could be there the clutch line has a break somewhere and is allowing air into the system... or that you're just low on clutch fluid (DOT3) or whoever last serviced it didn't bleed the clutch hydraulic system of air properly.

It does look like a standard W58 clutch work slave setup to me and I did have a stock '93 W58 in my car at one time. Externally only the shifter mechanisms on W58's changed from 1992-1994 to 1995-1997.

Wonderful information than you! I replaced the slave and nothing. I ordered the master to try next.
