Clutch pedal sometimes hard

[soldave]

Got an intermittent problem which seems to be occuring a little more frequently in the past couple of weeks. Normally, my single-plate clutch (Centerforce) feels pretty much like stock with gear changes, and doesn't require much pressure at all. However, once or twice per journey the clutch pedal will become hard and require a fair bit of force to push it down. This will probably happen for a couple of gear changes and then it will go back to normal again. I have no problems finding a gear once the clutch is in, but obviously this is an issue I want sorting out.

My mechanical knowledge is very limited but my best guess would be one of the cylinders or clutch fluid that needs bleeding. However, I think the master cylinder was overhauled when I had my new clutch put in around 7000km ago. Thought I would check with much more knowledgable folk though before doing anything or taking my car to a garage.

Cheers for any help you can offer me in advance

Situation still pretty much the same. Clutch pedal feels much better, but still a tiny bit hard from time to time. Working better though

Hasn't been mentioned yet but it maybe your clutch fork. With a bent clutch fork it can be very hard to depress your clutch pedal. Does your clutch grind at all?

Never heard it grind
