Michael:
Sounds like the early stages of "sticky clutch syndrome". I have
attached a URL to
a tech article describing the problem and its cure. Read the article and
see if that is
what you are experiencing.
It is the Nelson Reidel article from the Buckeye Triumph site.
He withdrew the
article out of fear of litigation, but I kept a copy around.
Cheers,
Vance

Subject: Clutch pedal feel
Listers:
<snip>
Anyway, as the passenger-front differential pin has begun to come
loose, I have noticed not only the usual clunk from the rear end when
engaging the clutch, but also a change in the clutch pedal feel. It
seems harder
to depress the pedal, and upon letting the pedal out, it seems to move
less
smoothly. It is almost as if the pedal wants to push back at me upon
engaging
the clutch, unless I concentrate on letting it out very smoothly.
Could these problems (diff pin and clutch pedal effort/feel) be related
somehow? The problem seems to be at the end of pedal travel (farthest
from the
floor). The actual shifting is fine, and there is no slippage. Also,
I drive
the car very gently, and shift slowly and deliberately out of habit.
Thanks.
