hi all just wonder whats everyones opinion on the matter? I can select all the gears and still feel the biting point but is just very stiff to push. I've been searching and some people say its the cable where it sits so close to the manifold, some people say its the clutch arm bushes?

some say...they were all right...
new cable and lubed lever arm bushes and you will see big difference... the other thing it could be is the clutch itself going stiff...but the above faults are more common Wishes for more power...

just get used to it . . . .little bit of white grease on the pedal pivot point may help a bit . .i don't like driving cars with light clutches now, feels like there's nothing under my foot .

Is it a gti? If it is, they seem to go particularly heavy.
If your taking the box off, bang a new clutch in, new release arm bushes (less than £2 each) and a new cable will give you a lovely clutch!

Not sure if this'll help but my 1.8 came with the standard heavy clutch cable. Messing with a clutch is beyond me so I just sprayed lube stuff into the cable from under the pedal. Look where the bit that actually attaches to the pedal goes into the cable and use the pipe that comes with the can to direct the lube down the cable. Keep pressing the pedal to work the lube down the cable and repeat for a few days. Made the world of difference to mine.
