Truck is in the shop for clutch to be looked at. Clutch pedal was stiffer than stiff yesterday and parked it over night and this morning wasn’t near as stiff. Hydraulic clutch. Fluid level full. Shop said clutch just needed adjustment. I had taken cover off to look in it. Has a lot of shaving in there atleast to me.
How much is to much for metal shaving ? Pictures attached . Clutch bell housing

If the throw out bearing ain’t rattling loud, and the clutch ain’t slipping, keep going. Just make sure you have enough free play. Have them adjust the clutch and the clutch brake linkage “IF” the transmission doesn’t go into gear from a stop.
Edit;
Second thought, some light shavings you say ?, stiff, probably clutch springs coming apart. I’m not to familiar with those hydraulic set ups. See what the shop tells you.Last edited: Nov 16, 2022

I would just keep a close eye on it by checking it when it gets greased every month. If the input shaft is moving around it could be binding? I've never heard of broken springs making it stiffer but stranger things have happened.

Is it air assisted?
