as i depress the brake pedal, everything is fine. when i let up, the brake comes up but does not always come up all the way. i have to manually stick my boot under the pedal and pull it back up so my brakes dont drag (cant have an SHO getting slowed up like that). it might be the master cylinder but dont know for sure. if i have time this week, im gonna troubleshoot it before it gets too serious. itll be alright for now...anyone have any input on this ? if i havent clarified something, feel free to ask. ill describe the best i can.

Thanks In Advance.

I know there's a helper spring attached to the pedal that is suppossed to help bring the pedal back up. Might want to check that out first.

It could be as simple as the brake pedal return spring is weak. The SHO has had instances of this happening. If that is the case, you can add a booster spring to help return the pedal.
