Diagnosing Problems - Symptom Reference - Chatter
A hard-pedal condition is often caused by sticking, binding or improperly lubricated release system components. Something in the release system is restricting movement and increasing the pedal effort needed to release the clutch. Inspect the release system for a binding fork or release bearing. In a mechanical release system, inspect all of the linkages for binding. It may be helpful to disconnect components and test them individually to locate the worn or damaged component.
