Would like to ask my clutch feels soft and does not return immediately after press. feels like no pressure.

im guessing it is the clutch master cylinder. car running on twin plate exedy. current pump stock gsr ck.

Can i send to repair at normal service workshop, with normal spare parts? my normal workshop quite far and dont think i can drive there.

Let your mechanic check first, but anyway if it is the master cylinder, need to check the internals. If worn, better change the whole unit. I did once repairing with clutch kit but did not last. Nowadays mostly change when have problem, as most of the time will leak hydraulic fluid......

Can even be DIY at home but i suggest to get both master and slave pump service together.

U can choose to change only the pump seal or the piston kit as its about the dimension of the seal/piston inside the pump. That is...if the cylinder wall inside the pump is still good.

does it need some kind of heavy duty performance clutch pump? or just any will do?

Sounds like a simple flush case if you don't have any clutch fluid leak.

In my case, the clutch pedal doesn't return at all.
Sent to a workshop and they replaced the master clutch pump.

Yours is the clutch pedal still returns to its place but just slowly, so could be this, or could be other reasons

well changed the lower pump for some stock pump and now working. mechanic said will not last long maybe few months.

recommended wilwood or avs, those not in stock for this engine anywhere so order from supplier first, later this one spoil then change again..
