Hi I will try to explain this as best as possible. When I press the clutch pedal down and the clutch pedal is on its way back up it feels normal until the last few centimeters. Then it sort of springs back the last few centimeters.
Is this normal? Not had the car long and am due to take it on a bit for a long journey.
No other issues and it drives fine.
Thanks in advance.

Its certainly not normal. The pedal should travel freely and smoothly down and on return upward. It needs an inspection around the pedal mechanism and its connection with the clutch master cylinder. Do they both operate freely?
