As in the thread title, how much of a push does your clutch pedal require? Mine is definitely a heavy old thing and has been all the time I have owned it. It has had the clutch replaced at Omicron (on account of normal wear, not because of pedal feel) and it was just the same afterwards.
I'm probably worrying about nothing, but I have horrible visions of the bracket on the steering column fracturing where the pedal pivots on it.
