It is most likely to be the pressure plate if you have already try'ed the cable, and if your having that done then you may as well have the clutch plate done too________________________________________ R.I.P pete Team: Diablo 6 Team: YZF R1 |

Doubtfull, The main reason for a heavy clutch is the cross shaft (Clutch arm) and bearings as they tend to rust in the bottom bearing making the clutch stiff, the amount of so called mechanic's that say change the clutch is quite funny as the shaft and bearings are only a shade over £50.00________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Yes it's remove the box as the arms run's thru the box and you'll see the top and bottom bearings are white plastic/NylonAs said a huge mistake of not replacing these when the clutch is being done, I've done a few and it really does make the clucth feel light (Well not Ford light) but not heavy like most 306's are. ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Don't just change the bushes without the clutch, im sure the pressure plate springs go stiffer over time combined with the bushes wearing oval/seizing. Think the new bushes come with a small hole in lower one to help lubricate in future. |
