Default Re: Possible cause of heavy clutch pedal?

Okay I took the clutch pedal off and found one bush half missing and no lubricant on either. Swapped them left to right and packed with grease but still feels heavy. Think I'm running out of easy fixes now, but will buy some new pedal bushes all the same.

I think it may be something more causing resistance. To better describe the issue, there doesn't seem to be any unusual noise or inconsistency with the pedal travel, it's just about 2 or 3x as much resistance as there should be.

Thanks for those pointers arm79. I'll try having a closer look at the fork/pivot ball while it's engaged.

I read about the factory front retainer/nose cone I think it's the same thing, and that it may need copper grease only. There also seems to be a stronger replacement at Malwood.

I wonder if a worn/poorly lubricated retainer/nose could wear out the bearing as well?
