What kind of clutch is it? I know that with centerforce clutches you need to remove the heavy spring under the dash as it can cause the clutch pedal to stay on the floor.. When he put in the new clutch was the flywheel turned? Was a new pilot bushing installed?

Yes, not removing the underdash assist spring will cause the pedal to stick to the floor with a DF centerforce clutch. The pedal would be very light and extremely easy to push to the floor. I drove mine like that a few times and had no other ill effects mentioned such as vibrations and being hard to shift. I couldn't live with the sticking pedal and then promptly removed the assist spring.


Sounds like the linkage, fork, or pressure plate is probably hosed.
