Clutch pedal will not return all the way

Hello, I have a 2003 Tacoma 5 speed. I just installed a new clutch, but even before I installed the clutch the pedal would not return all the way. I have to pull it back with my foot about a quarter inch every time I shift. I cannot find a spring anywhere I believe that that is the issue

 

I doubt the spring popped off.

I had trouble with my clutch not returning recently and it was the master/slave cylinders

 

Make sure the clutch line isn't damaged.

 

Check master fluid level. They are finicky to the amount in the hold. If not I got oem from rock auto really easy to install.

 

I just went through this. After some time it will start going half way down then pull its self to floor and get stuck. I put a new master cylinder and slave cylinder and it works great

 

If you have a V6 truck it's a common problem. They put a spring in that's supposed to be easier to hold down once compressed instead of a pull spring like the 4 cylinder trucks. There are several threads on here about it. Here's a link to one. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/clutch-pedal-will-not-return.574559/#post-19003866

When I boght my truck, the clutch petal was not returning all the way but I did not know it. I had nothing to reference it to. Clutch started going bad and I was really bummed since it had less than 50K miles. One day when I was releasing my foot off the clutch felt a pop when the clutch came up an additional distance and made contact with my foot. Then I started having to pull i up the rest of the way with my foot.

Finally I had the clutch replaced, with a new master and slave cylinder all from Marlin crawler.

Its still doing it. So next I will do the spring

 

Sorry to say you probably wasted your money on that master and slave cylinder. I can almost guarentee it's your return spring. I bet your cruise control doesn't work or works intermittently as well.

 

Yep waste of money. So many of the forums I read said it was probably the MC. SO I figured if I did both I would be set.
If I knew then what I know now...
