March 26, 201115 yr 2004 impreza. 120k miles. 5 speed. My daughters car. 2 problems that may or may not be related. #1 She complains of troubles shifting when cold. Michigan cold. When fully depressing the clutch peddle cold the clutch is not quite disengaged as indicated by some grinding going into reverse or 1st. After 15 minutes of warm up time it is ok but the peddle still needs to be near fully to the floor. I am not sure if the warm up of the engine compartment or the interior is significant. This leads to #2. #2 With interior cold, and releasing the peddle it will only return up about 3 to 4 inches and requires snagging the peddle with her shoe. It then snaps up clipping her ankle on occasion. When warm the sticking tendency is still there but seems to be overcome by the additional spring I Mcguivered to help. It is very difficult for an old guy to see around the clutch peddle linkage while upside down, very uncomfortable, and with bad eyes. I know there has been 2 engine swaps so things under the hood are not virgin. If this was a cable operated clutch I would adjust the problem away. I think. Ideas?? Thanks all rick

Thanks all rick Double post; you might delete this since I've already replied to the first one. Less confusion that way.
