Clutch pedal not returning all the way?

[me73]

The new Emira has been running great for it's first 917 miles. Today it was 90F outside and mid way through a drive the clutch pedal only returned half way up. I pulled it up with my foot and it worked normally for a while. Then stuck again. It only happened the two times. New, full fluid.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this the same issue that the Evora had?

Cannot help on the cause or the likelihood of it being similar to the Evora issue. What I would say is, get it looked at by the dealer.

Sounds like what happened when my slave cylinder went out on my Z.

On that car it was an easy fix and a cheap part. On the Lotus who knows on the part and will have to remove the undershielding and look to see ease of replacement.

If the part is the same as the Evora ...

Looks like you can also rebuild the slave cylinder for $43 in parts.
