Ok, so I have had a problem for a while now with the clutch in my Avanti. When you start the car up, when it is cold, the clutch pedal is really nice and smooth and easy to push in. But after about 20 mins or so, once the car has warmed up the pedal gradually gets harder and harder to push in. It kind of feels like its binding somewhere. We have checked all the linkages leading down to the bell housing and it all is good and not catching anywhere which makes me believe the problem is inside the bell housing. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Any help would be much appreciated

Not sure, but one thing to check is the "connecter" between the linkage and the clutch shaft. They sometimes crack (at the pin holes) and the clutch will do some funny things. You will nee to have someone step on the clutch while inspecting it looking for the "connecter" to spread at the holes.

Thanks for your input, we have already checked the connecter between the linkages and the clutch shaft and it is all good. I think we are just going to have to pull the gear box out again and have a look. It will be the 5th time I will have bulled the gear box out in little over 12 monthsMichael Pink
