Nissan Repair: 1997 Nissan Altima clutch problem, nissan altima, slave cylinder

Question
I have a 1997 Nissan Altima, and am having the following problem with the clutch: It will not come back up on its own, so I can start it. I have checked the slave and master cylinders, and they are not leaking. I have to have the clutch pushed in for it to start, but the car still won't start even when I do that.

Thanks for your help.

Answer
John,

If the clutch is not returning you need to have the slave cylinder replaced.  If it will not start when you press the clutch in you need to check the clutch switch under the dash to see if the switch is defective or if the wires have come off.
