I don't see a gas strut in the linkage set up - only mechanical rods and brackets.
All linkage is clean as a whistle, nothing bent ... had the wife working the pedals so I could get a real good look.
All springs look good, lubed all pivot points.
I just put it up on jackstands and did the purge cycle again.
Road tested again... no change - FWD pedal slow to return.
BUT I DID notice that if I stay away from full speed on the FWD pedal, it DOES return as normal, and my dear old brake whiplash is present.
So .... only fully depressing the FWD yields the slow return.
