1g Clutch pedal gets hard to push all the way in.

[g4ebguy90]

I have looked at related threads but I couldn't find a good answer. Except a pedal adjustment. Which I may do but I'll see what you guys think.

I bought this, 91 Eclipse turbo has a Supposley clutch master clutch in it. But idk how true that is. Previous owner just told me its *STAGE 2*

Anyways, the problem I'm having is, the pedal is fine to push in except when you get a inch or 2 above the floor it just gets like almost rock hard. The only way to switch gears is to push it way down to the floor.

As you can see this is hurting my leg in city driving.
The transmission only grinds if I don't push it all the way down. It's pretty hard to get into gear also unless I REALLY PUSH THIS THING DOWN.

Any incite? I have never worked on a clutch before, so any help is appreciated.
I just figured people have had similar problems.
Thanks.

That's normal. I have a Fidanza 2.3 clutch in my 91. The pressure plate on a stage 2 clutch, or any higher than stock, will be stiff. Engage and dissengagement is fairly close to the floor.
