Hi All,

I have a slight problem and wondered if anyone could help.
My clutch is very stiff and seems to stick 3/4 of the way down and then
release.
The sticking point requires a lot of effort to get past and and makes a loud
clunk noise. Once down the clutch operates as normal.
I have already replaced the clutch cable which seemed to improve the
situation a little bit but has not cured the sticking.

Thanks in advance
Andy

Check the path the cable takes.it might be hooked up some place,or could
be a bent lever.or the clutch release lever might be rubbing on the box.
so it looks like u will have to have a good at it ,so good luck. from

sounds like it is in the box or at the lever.

That sounds like a problem with the diaphragm spring. It's snapping -don't
mean breaking, like a clicky frog toy (if anyone remembers them) instead of
operating smoothly.
Replacement clutch time.
