    really stiff clutch pedal

    as said above, also when the pedal is at the top it is loose.
    the biting point is no more than 10mm up from the bottom, also i have receipts of a clutch cable and pedal from before i bought the car.. so obviously its been messed with before.

    any ideas?????
    thanks

    If it's stiff then your clutch cable is probably routed incorrectly, or your clutch could be on its way out.

    You could unhook the cable from the pedal and see how stiff it is then to see whether its the pedal or the cable.

    cliokiz is spot on.
    The cable probably went on it previously and they did the cable and rachet/pedal system, without knowing that the clutch is on the way out.

    northy, if you still have that pedal assembly this time 2 months, I'll have it off your hands there.

    clutch pedal

    My clutch is very high compared to the other 2, could a new pedal assembly cure this or is it a simple fix?

    Northy how much are you looking for?
