Is this totally controlled by the brake spring or is there an adjustment? Not knowing the pedal was not coming all the way back, my brake lights stayed on draining my battery... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | The spring and a little residual MC pressure is all that pulls it back. Maybe it's time for a new spring. While you look, see how the system is generally operating on the brake and clutch pedal cross shaft.

One end has a straight stem. You cut it to length & bend a hook on it.
