Question stiff clutch
hi everyone long time no post.
I hope anyone with snow is having fun bombing through it

ive done some reading and from what i can tell its time for a new clutch,
my clutch peddle has been stiff ever since i bought the truck, but now its getting stiffer its almost harder to press then some of the big rigs ive drove.

just from google people are saying its due to a failing clutch, just want to make sure theres not something i should be greasing before i start pulling everything apart.
any input on this would be great ive never had clutch problems before.anks
thanks.

You might have a hd 3 finger clutch instead of a diaphragm clutch

The slave might be going, does it feel like it is binding or just hard to push?

probably 87 up with the hydraulic slave, the old bearings just rode on the fingers when they went bad they just made noise.
