Checking clutch arm/pressure plate

The clutch pedal should get its return force from the action of the pressure plate fingers (which are essentially springs) pushing back on the throwout bearing, which pushes on the fork, which forces the slave back in, forcing the fluid into the master cylinder's piston, and finally pushing the clutch pedal back out. (I think anyway)

Gonna need more than a 17mm wrench this time son!

So you've actually seen the slave pop out when someone else hit the clutch pedal? Tried holding the master in with your thumb or something while someone hit the clutch?
