I've had the car for almost a year and the clutch has always been heavy but over the last few weeks it's become very stiff and it's also difficult to engage the gears especially first which I sometimes have to force home.
There aren't any signs that point to the clutch itself thankfully, no slipping at all and stalls as expected when starting off in a high gear but it might need bleeding, I've also read about the clutch pedal spring but haven't been able to find it!
The shifting does improve as it warms up though and it's more trouble shifting down than up so that leads to the gearbox. There's nothing in the history as to when the oil was last changed so it's probably overdue.
What do people think or could it something completely different?
Thanks
Simon
