[QUOTE="JohnP3, post: 3152058, member: 39387"]When you grease the clutch you need to hold the pedal down, and give it about 15 pumps of grease to get the lube on the slide sleeve. Be sure the cross shafts are greased, you should be able to move the slack in the linkage easily, If not you have to find out why? I have seen stiff pedals caused by the pedal itself, the tube rides on nylon bushings and they will sometimes get very stiff, Disconnect the linkage at the clutch arm and see if the stiffness is in the clutch or the pedal asembly. The fix for the stiff pedal is drill a 15/64 hole in the tube, and screw in a 1/4 x20 Zert use a nut driver, and grease the tube, they take a lot to fill it and you will have to do it a few times to clean the Bushings. Just a thought![/QUOTE]
