I took Pumkin in the bush this weekend.
There is one particular place that I come down a sand dune at a pretty steep angle and have to make a scary turn at the bottom.
I have done this many times with no issues.

This time when I got to the bottom and straitened her out, when I went to shift I noticed that the clutch pedal was down about 3/4 of the way. I pushed it to the floor and was able to change gear but it only came back up a little.
I put my foot behind the pedal and it came back up with little effort and I continued my journey with no more problems.
Clutch pedal is fine.

Should I be worried?
It is a fairly new pedal assembly and have never had any trouble with it.

Anything I should check?

Thanks.

The clutch pedal spring should pull it back up regardless of what the clutch itself is doing.

+1 Look up inside the pedal housing (from inside the cab). You should be able to see a sizeable spring.
