Another CSC failure?

I would also put the clutch spring back in, either stock or the lightweight one. You can have my lightweight one if you want, just pay shipping & handling.

I have since replaced the stock spring, which is kind of odd because the clutch pedal can't even fully actuate back to its unsprung position. I would actually like the lightweight spring, if your handling doesn't include a biochemical fuel charge for your food!

But it does look like the piston could and likely would be causing this problem. Its most odd because the fluid reservoir shows no change in level (right below max). I would think if the CSC failed, that the fluid would drain/leak, but I'm showing no change, which also leads to me to think the CSC failed because the fluid isn't the issue.
